How to Roast Vegetables

by

Happy “Technique Tuesday” where I share the best way to do something simple. Good technique saves time, makes your task safer, and leads to a consistently high-quality result.

Today’s Technique: How to roast just about any vegetable with this handy chart from Good Housekeeping – a good one to print or pin and keep handy.
Roasting brings out the natural sugars in vegetables, caramelizing them with sweetness and crunch. Many people who swear they hate a vegetable find out they love it when it’s roasted – the texture and flavor change pretty dramatically. Plus, you can play with spices, melty cheeses, a sprinkling of whole wheat breadcrumbs or quinoa flakes, fresh or dried herbs, and citrus to vary the taste. And don’t forget the dipping sauce for those picky eaters…

    Mmm…ça a l’air très bon tout ça. On a envie d’y goûter.
    Seulement, je conseille vivement d’utiliser des épices lorsqu’on fait griller, car ils limitent la formation de corps de Maillard, cancérigènes.
    Mélanger la bonne cuisine et des connaissances en nutrition, quelle bonne idée !

Mother-daughter dinner tonight! Another easy grain Mother-daughter dinner tonight! Another easy grain bowl. Broiled salmon takes 10-15 minutes. Put it over red rice (cooked in rice cooker while I put the baby to bed), and topped with cucumber,  avocado, toasted sesame seeds, seaweed, and wasabi with teriyaki sauce. Inspired by @skinnytaste and @heatherkjonesrd Seattle salmon.

Made this from scratch after putting the baby to sleep so while it looks like a lot of time, it wasn’t! What you see: Lemon-garlic marinated chicken, sautéed mushrooms, maple roasted carrots, roast sweet potatoes, and pre-washed spinach on brown rice with TJ’s green goddess dressing.
