Oven and vegetables, surprisingly, are also a natural match?

There are many ways to cook vegetables, including frying, stir frying, steaming, boiling, and deep frying, which are commonly used cooking methods. However, there is another way, which is baking. You may think of grilled vegetables in barbecue restaurants, of course, that's also a way of grilling.

But for most families, charcoal fire and iron plates are not common props, and the living environment is not very suitable for charcoal grilling or iron plate grilling, which can easily produce a lot of oil fumes. However, don't forget that there is also a must-have baking tool for home use that has no oil fumes or open flames - an oven. Oven can not only be used for baking bread and desserts, but also for grilling meat and vegetables, and even has advantages over frying, steaming, and cooking with pots.

Because cooking on the stove always heats up the bottom the most, it is inevitable that there will be uneven heating. However, cooking in the oven can be heated up to 360 degrees, allowing for open baking and evaporation of moisture on the surface of ingredients, resulting in a variable or crispy taste; It can also be tightly wrapped and baked in a closed manner to maximize the retention of moisture and flavor in the ingredients. From the inside out, it can be evenly baked or steamed.

Baking vegetables in an oven not only has the advantage of uniform heating, but also saves time and effort. No fire, no oil fumes, and there is no need to carefully clean the stove afterwards. No need to adjust the firepower, no need to constantly monitor during baking, and can also free oneself to handle other affairs, which is an efficient way to use time.
