Getting Started
- For maximum flavor, always use freshly ground black pepper. Coarsely ground pepper yields a more intense aroma and texture, especially when baked.
- When baking low-carb vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower, use temperatures between 200-220°C (400-425°F) to achieve tender interiors and slightly crispy edges without excess oil.
- Ensure ingredients have space on the baking sheet. Overcrowding leads to steaming rather than roasting, preventing proper browning and crisping.
- Don't shy away from healthy fats like olive oil or avocado oil. They help distribute black pepper flavor, prevent sticking, and contribute to satiety on a low-carb diet.
