Baked Cilantro Recipes

While often cherished for its fresh, vibrant notes, cilantro can lend unexpected depth and aroma when incorporated into baked dishes. Baking allows its essential oils to meld with other ingredients, creating a more rounded, less sharp flavor profile. This technique offers a new perspective on a familiar herb, moving beyond garnish to a foundational flavor.
