Details here: https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/roasted-carrots We peeled and then cut medium carrots into quarters lengthwise. We found 20 mins at 450 more than sufficient, and we were surprised by how quickly the carrots charred. (May 2019)

Bacon-wrapped dried apricots with sage
Details here: https://www.reluctantgourmet.com/bacon-wrapped-dried-apricots-sage-recipe/ We didn’t have enough sage, so we cut the sage leaves into 2 pieces and then placed one piece of sage on each apricot before wrapping it in 1/3 piece of bacon. We found 375 too low to crisp up the bacon, so we increased to 400. (May 2019) Note: While making… Continue reading Bacon-wrapped dried apricots with sage
Hanjan Restaurant’s Korean chicken wings
We had 5 leftover wings (each split into 2 joints, for 10 total pieces), so we felt inspired to try a NYT recipe.

Oven-roasted fingerling potatoes
We loosely followed this recipe but skipped the seasonings except salt, black pepper, and olive oil. https://www.budgetbytes.com/rosemary-roasted-potatoes/ In addition, to accommodate roast chicken pieces concurrently in the oven, we initially roasted at 400 (for 20 mins) and then increased to 425 until the potato halves were brown and crispy (an additional 20 mins). We garnished… Continue reading Oven-roasted fingerling potatoes
Oven-roasted brussel sprouts
We followed this recipe: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/roasted-brussels-sprouts-recipe2-1941953 Our modifications: we trimmed and halved each sprout and also oven-roasted at 425 for 35 mins in order to cook alongside another dish: http://piglettedc.tumblr.com/post/179433493006/sheet-pan-zaatar-chicken-with-shallots-and. These were slightly charred the first time (Nov. 2018), and we later found that 20 mins were sufficient (Apr. 2019)
Korean chive pancake (buchujeon)
We tried this recipe: https://kimchimari.com/korean-chive-pancake-buchujeon-with-chive-flowers/ We found the batter a bit too viscous, so we added a little more (1 Tbsp) water until it was thin, like crepe batter. We also used frozen cut chives, which made the pancake wetter than it should have been. So I would recommend using fresh chives the next time.… Continue reading Korean chive pancake (buchujeon)
Muhammara (Middle Eastern red pepper and walnut spread)
We followed this NYT recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017492-muhammara-red-pepper-and-walnut-spread To roast the red pepper, we followed these tips instead of the ones in the NYT: https://www.daringgourmet.com/how-to-roast-red-peppers/ (Apr. 2018)
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.

Roasted parsnips and baby fingerling potatoes

We toss them in olive oil, a little salt and pepper, and a few sprinkles (about ½ tsp) dried Greek oregano. We placed the… Continue reading Roasted parsnips and baby fingerling potatoes
Crispy roasted shiitake mushrooms
We tried this Martha Stewart recipe, and it is delicious: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.marthastewart.com/1050268/crispy-roasted-shiitake-mushrooms%3famp We found, however, that 25 mins at 400 degrees was the total cooking time; we removed the baking sheet from the oven at that time. Both sides of the shiitakes had browned without being turned over. (Nov. 2017)Note: To clean the mushrooms, we gently… Continue reading Crispy roasted shiitake mushrooms
