Cooking Method: Roasting

One Skillet French Onion Tater Tot Casserole

I recently made this Tater Tot Cowboy Casserole. It was insanely good, so I made another version of it. One-Skillet French Onion Tater Tot Casserole is a cross between French onion soup and a classic midwest style tater tot casserole. It is made with caramelized onions, ground beef, bell peppers, garlic, and topped with a layer of Gruyère cheese, tater tots and baked in the oven until the tater tots are golden brown and then get an extra layer of cheddar cheese.

Marmite Chicken with Cacio e Pepe Butter Beans

Marmite’s distinctive taste is represented in the marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it." Such is its prominence in British popular culture that Marmite is often used as a metaphor for something, or even someone, that is an acquired taste or polarizing. This Marmite Chicken with Cacio e Pepe Butter Beans is absolutely delicious. The marmite adds a subtle umami flavor to the chicken and using the starchy bean liquid works perfectly in place of the starchy pasta water in a traditional cacio e pepe; it emulsifies perfectly with the parmesan to create a silky, glossy sauce.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

This Chicken Tortilla Soup is from The New York Times. This is a nontraditional method. There are many variations of tortilla soup. This one is made in a slow-cooker, but I have also included the stovetop version. The soup gets its depth of flavor from roasting the tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and garlic until they become charred. It's then put in a slow-cooker with the chicken for about 5 hours. To me the toppings are key. I like adding fried tortilla strips, avocado, cheese, cilantro, etc. I also have another version on this blog here.

Spatchcock Chicken with Miso and Sesame Seeds is butterflied and roasted, so it cooks evenly. The miso glaze adds a rich, buttery flavor and it's finished with sesame seeds, which adds a nutty crunch. You could also just cut up the chicken instead of spatchcocking it to make it easier.

Pistachio Crusted Salmon

This Pistachio Crusted Salmon is delicious. The salmon gets slathered in Dijon mustard and honey (I used hot honey, of course) and then dipped in the pistachios. I just checked and found out I have 78 different salmon recipes on my blog! We try to eat salmon once a week.
