Ghee-Roasted Vegetables: A Game Changer
There's a reason why restaurant vegetables taste better—they often use quality fats like ghee. Here's how to bring that magic home.
Why Ghee is Perfect for Roasting
- High smoke point (485°F) means no burning
- Caramelization happens perfectly
- Maillard reaction creates complex flavors
- Fat-soluble nutrients become more absorbable
- Rich, nutty flavor that elevates vegetables
