SUMMER VEGETABLES IN PARCHMENT PAPER



Summer Vegetables in Parchment Paper image

Parchment paper is a great way to use less fat in cooking and still end up with a tasty dish. Notice that you are cutting each piece of the parchment paper into a heart shape. Other vegetables that I think you could use: chayote, mushrooms, asparagus, or spinach. After looking at some other veggie parchment recipes, I think 375 degrees for 20 minutes might work too. Maybe you are like me--- love oven meals so that is why I am putting the oven/time variation here. If you do not have parchment paper use foil, but parchment is prettier. :)

  • Don't overcrowd the parchment paper. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly.
  • Season the vegetables generously. This will help them develop flavor while they cook.
  • Fold the parchment paper tightly. This will create a sealed packet that traps the steam and helps the vegetables cook quickly and evenly.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp. This will prevent them from becoming mushy.
