Roasting is a cooking method that involves cooking food on dry heat, usually in an oven. It is a popular way to cook meats, vegetables, and other dishes. Roasting is done by exposing the food to direct heat for a longer period of time than other methods, such as baking or grilling. This allows the food to become tender and flavorful. Roasting is often used to bring out the natural flavors of the food and to create a crispy outer layer.
