Perhaps the best option would be to bake them. Thus, most of the elements necessary for our body will remain, and vegetables will not lose their taste.





Properly baking vegetables is a whole culinary art! You need to monitor temperature and time. Consider the size of vegetables, texture and so on. Of course, practice will help you in this difficult but interesting case. With it, you will learn to turn simple ingredients, if not masterpieces, then edible enough dishes.





In turn, we will always help you with advice. Here they are, by the way.

Baked vegetables
  1. Cut the vegetables in the same pieces.
    Cutting is a standard beginner problem. They are often not taken seriously enough. Vegetables are cut randomly, pieces of different sizes are baked unevenly. As a result, we get a burnt on the edges and raw inside something that is difficult to call a good dish.



    We advise you to devote more time to this issue and carefully cut vegetables in about the same pieces. And the dish will taste better, and look more aesthetic.

  2. For different vegetables – different amount of oil
    So that your dish does not burn on the grill or in the oven - spray the dishes with oil. Vegetables also need it, but everyone needs their own quantity. If the product has a porous structure, like mushrooms, eggplant or squash - they will need more oil than root crops. But you can't do that either. A couple of tablespoons, no more.



    If you are afraid to use oil in general, do not worry. It will not give your figure volume, but it will help the body absorb fiber, which is abundant in vegetables.

  3. Bake vegetables in special dishes
    For vegetables, it is best to use meat. No pots or wide plates. First, the pan will not burn or burst in one place. And secondly, it keeps a constant temperature. Moreover, its form is very convenient for mixing the content.



    If the use of only one adversary seems to you insufficient, foil-baked They'll be well baked. Foil is an expendable material and can be thrown away after cooking. This will significantly reduce the time spent cleaning the kitchen.

  4. Don't put your vegetables together.
    When you pour sliced pieces of vegetables into dishes, distribute them as evenly as possible. At high temperatures, vegetables give off steam and if it is too much, they will simply boil. And you need a different texture, right?



    Properly distributed vegetables will also give an appetizing golden crust. You can ignore this rule only in one case, when you use a cooking sleeve. Vegetables baked in the sleeve They stew more, but if you cut the sleeve at the end of cooking, they will give away excess moisture.

  5. Maintain a sufficient temperature in the oven
    Try to cook vegetables in the oven at a temperature of 200 degrees. If you use a low temperature, there is a chance either to make the dish raw, or to get insufficiently fried outside fruits.



    A good result is achieved at a temperature slightly above 200 degrees and a minimum of half an hour of cooking.

  6. Don't disturb the vegetables.
    Sometimes housewives, especially unsophisticated, are very worried about their cooking and constantly stir it, watch that it does not burn. These are commendable aspirations, but turning vegetables during baking is allowed no more than twice. Doing this more often risks disrupting their structure and getting mashed.



    Do not stir vegetables is also wrong. So you get a beautiful texture on one side and a pale nasty on the other. Once again, it all comes down to achieving balance.



Of course, this is not all the tricks of cooking vegetables. It would not be superfluous to write about the fact that it is desirable to salt vegetables at the end. So the product will not give the juice during cooking. And if the quality of vegetables is in doubt, it is better to peel them from the skin.





Even in his youth, Van Damme boasted that he had strength and plasticity because of fiber, which is full of baked vegetables. Of course, twine and press cubes appear from the training regime, and films with its participation only prove this point of view. But, nutrition is the basis of a strong, hardy organism. Moreover, such a diet will taste even the most picky gourmets.





As you can see, this way of cooking vegetables has a lot of positive aspects. So why not try? Of course, by following our simple advice. We're sure you won't be disappointed.
