A Few Tips for Success:

• Oil Choice: When it comes to cooking at high temperatures, refined oils are your friend. They maintain their nutritional value better than unrefined options. Think sunflower oil over unrefined sunflower oil, or regular olive oil over extra virgin olive oil.
• Parsley Root vs. Parsnip: Don’t stress if you can’t find parsley root! Parsnips make a fantastic substitute, though they are slightly sweeter.
• Pepper Power: Hungarian wax peppers are milder than bell peppers. If using bell peppers, opt for a mix of yellow and red for a milder flavor profile, avoiding green peppers which can be more bitter.
