01 -
- The cauliflower gets these golden crispy edges while staying tender inside
- Everything cooks in one pan so cleanup is practically nonexistent
02 -
- Do not crowd the pan or the vegetables will steam instead of getting those gorgeous brown edges
- The lemon juice must be added off the heat or the fresh flavor disappears almost immediately
03 -
- Pat your mushrooms dry with paper towels before cooking for better browning
