Baked vegetables can be used as a separate dish or as a light side dish to meat. Cooked on charcoal, they also acquire the refined aroma of smoke. But not everyone has the opportunity to bake the products outdoors in this grill.But you can fry grilled vegetables in a simple oven in your kitchen. The article will discuss recipes for cooking vegetable dishes in the oven.
Training
For roasting in the oven, you can use a variety of products: zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, eggplants and much more. An important starting point for the preparation of delicious and healthy dishes is the choice of products. When buying in the market or in the store, pay attention to the appearance of the fruit:
- it is necessary to avoid obviously unripe, or, on the contrary, overripe vegetables;
- the fruits should not show signs of rotting and visible damage;
- deformed fruits should also be avoided;
- when choosing tomatoes for baking, it is better to stop on not too watery, but rather large ones.
If the vegetables from your garden plot, then when selecting them for cooking should adhere to the same criteria. Having chosen the fruits for the dish, they should be washed well under running water and allowed to dry, spreading out on a towel. Using a knife, remove all unnecessary parts: the stalk, tails, leaflets, pith, seeds. Also, some vegetables will have to be peeled or husked.
Large fruits are cut into pieces of the required size. Small vegetables can be cooked whole, so they keep their juiciness better and dry less. As with meat, you can add marinade to vegetable products. Most fruits are very juicy, so you can marinate them in their own juice. To do this, chopped products need a little salt, add your favorite spices and leave for a while, until a sufficient amount of juice.
Part of such a marinade can be used directly in the baking process, adding a little vegetable oil. And left a small portion to fill the finished dish.
