🔥 Roasting! 🔥

Hot oven = crispy and delicious!

⚠️ Safety: VERY HOT OVEN! Use oven mitts and ask adult for help!

What is Roasting?

Roasting is cooking with dry heat in the oven. It's perfect for getting crispy, golden-brown exteriors!

Adam Ragusa: "Roasting is the best way to cook most things. It's hands-off and makes food taste amazing."

🔧 Roasting Basics

Preheat oven: Usually 400°F-450°F for most foods
Use a sheet pan: Line with parchment for easy cleanup
Don't crowd: Space food out for crispy results
Flip halfway: For even browning

🌡️ Temperature Guide

High heat (450°F): Vegetables, pizza, fries

Medium heat (400°F): Most everything else

Low heat (325-350°F): Large roasts, slow-cooked items

💡 Pro Tips:
• Let meat rest before cutting! Juice redistributes.
• Roasted vegetables are done when edges are brown and crispy
• Use convection setting if you have it = crispier results
