# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The way the charred edges contrast with the tender vegetables inside is nothing short of magical
  • Those toasted nuts add this incredible crunch that makes every bite feel dynamic and satisfying
02 -
  • Overcrowding the grill pan steams the vegetables instead of charring them, work in batches for those beautiful grill marks
  • The nuts can go from perfectly toasted to burnt in seconds, stay by the stove and stir constantly
03 -
  • Cut all vegetables to similar sizes so they cook at the same rate
  • Let the grill pan reheat between batches for consistent charring
