minus-squarehoneyontoast@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoUsually when I make soups I boil the veg in the water then blend. Does roasting it first improve the taste?
minus-squareClazzy@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoYeah, like @Sentenial@lemmy.ml said, the maillard reaction makes stuff taste nice! Compare a boiled potato to a roast potato and see which is better - it usually takes more time to roast over boiling but it’s worth it.
