We tried this NYT recipe, with modifications: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017170-cauliflower-parmesan First, instead of dredging the cauliflower in egg and breadcrumbs and deep frying it, we oven-roasted the cauliflower florets (tossed in a little olive oil and sprinkled with a little salt and pepper) at 425 for 30 mins, tossing midway. Second, to mimic the breading, we lightly… Continue reading Cauliflower parmesan

Weber’s garlic-sriracha chicken
We learned about this shortcut recipe from my friend Andrea: For 9 pieces of chicken (here, 3 boneless skinless breasts cut in half widthwise and 6 skin-on, bone-in drumsticks), marinate in 1 ½ Tbsp Weber garlic-sriracha seasoning (a dry seasoning) and 2 tsp 2% plain yogurt (we used Greek), making sure the seasoning and yogurt… Continue reading Weber’s garlic-sriracha chicken
Fire-roasted tomatoes, broiler version
We tried this method for a recipe that called for 28 oz canned fire-roasted tomatoes: https://www.thekitchn.com/quick-tip-roasting-tomatoes-un-59853 We lined our rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Sheet-pan mustard crusted chicken with broccolini and roasted sweet potatoes
We tried this NYT recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016020-sheet-pan-supper We simplified this recipe by oven-roasting two whole sweet potatoes instead of cutting and inserting thyme, using this recipe: http://piglettedc.tumblr.com/post/114603785616/oven-roasted-korean-sweet-potato-gogoma. We also omitted the mustard-sour cream sauce. Finally, we used broccolini instead of broccoli raab. (June 2018)
Japanese mixed mushroom yaki in foil pockets
We tried this recipe: https://www.saveur.com/mushroom-foil-yaki-recipe We used a mix of fresh bonapi, enoki, and shiitake mushrooms (totaling approx. 12 oz). To reduce sodium, we did not adjust the amount of seasonings for triple the mushrooms; we used only 2 Tbsp each soy and sake and 1 Tbsp white miso. We increased the butter to 2… Continue reading Japanese mixed mushroom yaki in foil pockets

We first lined a baking sheet with foil, then placed a wire rack on top of… Continue reading Japanese salt-cured salmon (shiozake)

Oven-roasted breakfast potatoes
We followed this recipe: https://www.tasteslovely.com/perfect-roasted-potatoes/ We used three small-medium Idaho potatoes, and we scrubbed the skin. Our modification: we added a dash (about ½ tsp) each cumin powder and paprika to the cubed potatoes before roasting them. The tips on preheating the baking sheet and using parchment paper were key.
