Getting Started
- Melt dairy-free butter gently before coating ingredients. Use a microwave in 15-second intervals or a small saucepan over low heat to prevent separation.
- For even browning, ensure ingredients are thoroughly coated with melted dairy-free butter. A brush works well for larger items, while tossing in a bowl suits smaller vegetables.
- Dairy-free butter often has a lower smoke point than traditional butter. Monitor cooking closely. For most items, 375°F (190°C) is a safe starting temperature, adjusting as needed.
- To infuse flavor, melt dairy-free butter with herbs like rosemary, thyme, or crushed garlic for 5 minutes over low heat before brushing onto proteins or vegetables. This enhances depth.
