Prepare and cook vegetables well
The water content and density of each vegetable determine how large to cut it and when to add it.
Cut for the cooking speed
Cut pieces of the same vegetable to a consistent size. Make dense vegetables such as carrots or potatoes smaller, and leave quick-softening vegetables larger so that everything is ready together.
Avoid excess moisture
Dry vegetables after washing and do not overcrowd the tray or pan. For zucchini, mushrooms or tomatoes, a wide surface and sufficient heat encourage browning rather than cooking them in their own juices.
Use the most delicate produce first
Plan meals around herbs, leaves and vegetables that wilt quickly, keeping roots and squash for later. Clean, edible trimmings can flavour stock if you chill or freeze them promptly.
