Cooking Tips
- Double the glaze: It stores well and adds great flavour to grain bowls or tofu.
- Roast sweet potatoes first: This layering of cook times ensures everything finishes at the same time.
- Use convection oven if available: Promotes more even roasting and browning.
- Finish with a splash of lemon juice: Brightens the final dish and enhances the miso’s umami.
- Swap broccolini for regular broccoli, asparagus, or snap peas: If broccolini is unavailable.
- Don’t overcook the salmon: Use a thermometer to ensure it reaches 125–130°F for medium.
