Roasted vegetables



Simplest things are the best—even when it comes to cooking. Do you agree? Whenever I'm in a hurry and just want to whip up a quick dinner, easy roasted vegetables is always my choice.

Roasted vegetables are an easy and delicious way to enjoy your veggies and hands down a simple cooking technique. Every home cook should have in their back pocket. I'm roasted my vegetables on the STOVE. One skillet does all the work for this colorful vegetable. It's only take about 20 minutes.

Here's the thing, while roasted vegetables are very easy to make, there are a few tips and tricks that you want to keep in mind. Just to ensure that your veggies are cooked to perfection.

The first one is to set your skillet nice and hot. The high heat is going to help to char and brown the outside of the vegetables while keeping the inside nice and tender.

The next decision to make is what type of vegetables do you want to roast. Well, this is a less of an exact science and more of a basic techniques. You do want to find vegetables that are fairly similar to one another so that they are cooked at the same rate.

For starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes, beet, potatoes, butternut squash will take a bit longer time to roast compare to those low starch vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and onion. In other words, you may need to roast starchy vegetables first then add on the low starchy vegetables later on. Hence, you will have all the vegetables cooked to perfection.

If you have an air fryer at home. Using an air fryer, you may roast the vegetables. They will get perfectly crispy in half the time and with half the amount of oil as in the oven. Quicker, and healthier – sounds good to us!!

Salt and pepper is always a good choice. Add them directly to the vegetables with the oil before roasting together with dried herbs like rosemary and thyme whole.

Now I'm super excited for you to give this roasted vegetables a try and when you do, let me know what veggies combination you went with.

Pumpkin Sago Dessert(南瓜西米露)

Pumpkin is a very good food material, suitable for men, women and children. Although it tastes very sweet, it does not contain high sugar content. It can even be eaten by diabetics. Pumpkin sago is a dessert that many people like because it does not harm the body. So, how to make pumpkin sago? This creamy, smooth pumpkin sweet soup is one of my favorites.   So aromatic with coconut milk.   Since the soup tends to thicken, I prefer it to serve hot rather than cold. I prefer to cook coconut milk in the soup with a little salt. Coconut milk is naturally sweet and rich. Salt helps to balance these flavors, making the soup more palatable and enjoyable. Others may prefer to drizzle some coconut milk on top before serving. The main ingredients of pumpkin and sago are pumpkin and sago. The general method of cooking sago is to boil water in a pot, pour in sago and cook on low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Turn off the heat when only a little white spot is left in the middle of the ...

Hakka Braised Pork Belly with Black Fungus

There was once I went to a bookstore and found this "The Hakka Cookbook" by accident. This book's subtitle is "Chinese Soul Food Around the World". According to the text, Hakka food exhibits the Hakka people's economical, not luxurious, and generous hospitality. Hakka cuisine has many health benefits because the Hakka people are dedicated to their pursuit of methods of preserving health and are skilled in utilizing the scientific principles concealed in nature. Hakka food has currently established itself as a representation of Cantonese cuisine. The two primary specialties are Hakka-stuffed tofu and salt-baked chicken. This meal is available at restaurants and is highly well-liked. Braised Pork Belly with Black Fungus is one of the dishes from this book that I have come across. Although the black fungus does not have a pleasing appearance, it is incredibly nutrient-rich. A daily intake of 5 to 10 grams of black fungus can support cardiovascular heal...

Ants Climbing A Tree (蚂蚁上树)

This dish is really interesting– Ants Climbing Trees! The name sounds like a small animal, but it is actually made with vermicelli or glass noodles and minces meat. This dish may seem simple, but it is actually rich in content. It is mainly made of glass noodles paired with fresh minced meat, and carefully seasoned with ginger, garlic, shallots, spicy bean paste, soy sauce, sugar and other condiments. Sometimes I cook it and serve it alone as breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. Sometimes I serve it with white rice. Either way, it is a very satisfying dish on my dinner table. The glass noodles were smooth, the minced meat was fragrant, and it tasted a little spicy due to the spicy bean paste.   It was delicious. The reason why this dish name as “ants climbing trees” is because the fried minced meat looks like little ants climbing on the “branch” of glass noodles. When preparing Ants Climbing a Tree, keep in mind that the glass noodles will absorb the sauce quickly.   Incre...
