Chef notes
Excellent the artwork of roasting greens — and fruits — with these easy-to-follow suggestions, methods, strategies and tips.
Suggestions for achievement:
Make sure to season generously with salt.
Do not overcrowd the greens or the recent air will not flow into and so they’ll steam as an alternative of roast.
Rotate the trays and stir the greens round a bit with a spatula to verify they’re crisping evenly and never sticking to the tray, each 10 minutes or so.
Precise cooking instances could fluctuate based mostly on the oven, amount being roasted and your choice of doneness (how fork-tender they’re).
Though not mandatory, beginning with a sizzling pan will expedite cooking time and assist improve caramelization.
