As the generation is pacing towards the digital era, it’s about time to upgrade your kitchen with modern appliances. But if you think you’ll have to invest in multiple appliances for different cooking techniques, here’s a surprise. With Usha’s OTG, you can master eight types of cooking with just one modern equipment.
From baking a cake to roasting veggies, you can simply plug in the OTG and wait for the magic to happen. If you regularly roast the vegetables in a pan, you must definitely let the Usha OTG handle, which won’t require you to stand near the stove and keep scorching the pan. So, if you want to roast vegetables like a pro, here’s a guide on how to get the best results in Usha’s OTG.
The Right Veggies
If you want to indulge in a quickly prepared bowl of roasted vegetables, you must know that depending on the starch content, size, and firmness of the vegetable, its ability to roast differs. So, you must pick vegetables that are firm with more starch content, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, cauliflowers, etc.
Preparation Process
Some tips to get perfectly roasted vegetables using Usha’s OTG first include rinsing the vegetables and then patting them dry. Next, you peel the skin, if any, and then chop the veggies into the desired shape and size. Then, toss them in olive oil and season with salt and pepper before roasting them. You can also add herbs before putting the vegetables in the oven so that the flavours are well-absorbed during the cooking process.
Preheat The OTG
While you are chopping and seasoning the veggies, just like you would usually heat some oil and add in spices if roasting on the stove, don’t forget to preheat the OTG. If the OTG is at a higher temperature, the vegetables will immediately start to roast, thus getting a crispier crust. Preheating for just ten minutes at about 200-220°C would prevent the vegetables to turn soggy.
Use The Right Tray And Setting
One of the most handy tips that you can only master with practice is knowing which tray, rack, and OTG setting to use for different dishes. As for roasting, it is recommended that you use a tray made with a heavy metal like iron to ensure an even distribution of heat. You can set the Usha OTG mode to roast at a temperature of 200°C. While you might be using the middle rack for baking, to perfectly roast the veggies, choose either the top or bottom rack.
Roasting Time And Finishing Touches
It usually takes about twenty to thirty minutes to roast the vegetables, but you can keep an eye on and turn off the OTG when the veggies are tender and crispy. For the best finishing touch, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice, grated cheese, or some oregano about five minutes before the vegetables should be done.
