Cooking Method: Roasting

Coq Au Vin Blanc

Coq au vin is a classic French dish of chicken that is braised in wine, with bacon, and mushrooms. A red Burgundy wine is typically used, though there are variations in the different regions of France, such as coq au vin jaune, coq au riesling, coq au pourpre or coq au violet, and coq au Champagne. I actually prefer it using white wine. Coq au vin is basically a chicken stew.

Crispy Parmesan Potato Stacks

These Crispy Parmesan Potato Stacks are SO crispy. I am always on a quest to find the crispest potato recipes. These are a quick and easy alternative to classic roast potatoes. Unless you have serious knife skills, I suggest you get a mandoline. You can get one on Amazon. Just be VERY careful!

Salmon with Rhubarb Sauce

I somehow woke up and decided I wanted to make some sort of sauce with rhubarb for salmon. It's a ridiculous idea in February when rhubarb is not exactly available, so I ended up buying some rhubarb preserves. This Salmon with Rhubarb Sauce is a revelation. The tartness of the rhubarb preserves works well to cut through the richness of the salmon.

Thomas Keller’s Oven-Roasted Zucchini

Thomas Keller's (The French Laundry) Oven-Roasted Zucchini recipe seems to have gone viral. It looked so good that I had to try it. He scores the cut zucchini and fries them in a very hot pan, then roasts them in the oven to create this amazing crispy and soft zucchini.  Then it's topped with a mixture of tomatoes, shallots, and fresh herbs. I will be making this quite a bit next summer when the zucchini is fresh from the garden. I've also seen this topped with a Greek yogurt and pistachios.

Ricotta and Roasted Grape Crostini

This Ricotta and Roasted Grape Crostini is an easy, elegant appetizer. By roasting the grapes that are doused in olive oil and balsamic vinegar, it concentrates and intensifies the flavor. It's a great appetizer when paired with wine.

Parmesan Criss-Cross Sweet Potatoes with Balsamic Glaze

Parmesan Criss-Cross Sweet Potatoes with Balsamic Glaze is a perfect side for your autumn menu. The sweetness of the potatoes really works with the saltiness of the parmesan cheese. I actually forgot to put the balsamic glaze on, so I guess you could say it's optional!

Roasted Rainbow Cauliflower

I bought this rainbow cauliflower Trader Joe's and decided to roast it. I tossed it in olive oil, lemon, garlic, red pepper flakes and I finished it with chopped walnuts and some parmesan cheese. I love the colorful mix of purple, green, white, orange cauliflower florets.
