Roast

To roast means cooking meats and/or vegetables in an oven in an uncovered pan at very high heat (to sear or roast quickly) or low heat (to marry the juices with herbs and spices). Roasting intensifies flavours Try rubbing asparagus and spring onions with a bit of olive oil, fresh herbs, lemon zest and salt and roasting them in a high temperature oven for 15 minutes.
