We will then apply what we learned as we create fresh and summery smoothies, without any added sugars. Attendees will even get a chance to take a spin on a blender bicycle for those who would like to add a little exercise to their smoothie-making process!

What is Roasting?
Roasting uses dry heat to slow-cook ingredients where hot air surrounds the food and cooks it evenly on all sides. Typically, a temperature of at least 300°F (or 150°C) is required for roasting. This classic cooking technique is compatible with all heat sources, including an open flame or an oven.
Roasting is designed to enhance flavor in a dish through caramelization and browning on the surface of food (think crispy potatoes), and is perfect for poultry, pork, vegetable and fish recipes.
| Watch for amazing recipes on our Facebook page at facebook.com/ComalAgriLifeExtension/ for the month of June. | |
