    I really enjoyed this video! Everyone talks about how good roasted brussel sprouts are, and I've never tried cooking them that way. Maybe I'll try it this weekend for Thanksgiving. I love cottage cheese. It tastes great with a vegetarian tomato pasta sauce for extra protein. If you do try it, don't mix the cottage cheese in with the sauce, otherwise it just disappears.

I too love brussel sprouts, but I’ve only eaten them sautéed in a light butter sauce. But also love them just steamed with a bit of salt. Never thought about making them crunchy. Have you made the baked Cauliflower, rolled in Parmeson Cheese? Supposed to be better than meat? They are delicious. 😋. Thank you for bringing us along while you try new recipes. Yes, love these kind of videos. You’re too funny. 😊

How can recipes vary so much.?Really enjoyed this video.

    Great video. I especially like your sense of humour & honesty.
    Sometimes when I see cooking videos on fb & Instagram they make it look so perfect.
    Sprouts are part of a British Christmas dinner & they’re a bit like Marmite, (Yeast extract) you either love ‘em or hate ‘em. I hate them.
    I love burnt food & when my Mum used to make a roast dinner she would always make a baked onion & burn it. It was lovely.
    You should try burnt fish fingers. They’re brill.
    In the UK we say mashed instead of smashed, like mashed potatoes.

    So funny, thank you for sharing. I LOVE to cook and rarely have total failure any more (many years of trial and error pre-internet), and girl, you were kinda sabotaged before you started on some of these. It really was not you on most of the struggles.
    Chick peas: love em. NEVER had success crisping despite several techniques. Either soggy center or risk breaking a tooth, no middle ground. Forget about it.
    Cottage cheese crisps looked good round 2.
    Tip: cut parchment paper with scissors, IMPOSSIBLE to tear, it’s actually made not to.
    All the uneven sizes and time requirements for different ingredients in the roasted things means some parts are absolutely going to burn. Try cutting into uniform size (florets or sliced), add ONLY oil(you NEED a refillable trigger pump oil sprayer-significantly less oil but evenly coats all pieces) and salt/ pepper until almost done. Garlic, spices, cheese and nutritional yeast all burn long before the food is cooked, so sprinkle on for the last 5 minutes. Lastly, the Brussels sprouts pre-roast steam/smash was nonsense. Totally unnecessary. Chop (however small you like, just as long as uniform), spray with oil, roast. Sprinkle extras. Done.
    I have a lot of experience cuz I LOVE almost burnt foods. 🎉 All brown and crispy! But no smoke alarm. 😅 it’s a fine line. 😬
    You’re doing great! Keep experimenting and you’ll find what you like.

    I have made the chick pea snack multiple times. I never put them in the fridge. My recipe calls for storage on the counter in air tight container. They stay crunchy.

I also tried roasted chicken peas and they never got crispy either, my husband hated them !!! 😂😂😂

    P.S. If you like the crispy "burnt" Brussels sprouts leaves...you can make just those. Peel the outside leaves from large sprouts, put them in a bowl, sprinkle them with a little olive oil and toss to coat. Then...spread them on a baking sheet and roast them in your oven. It shouldn't take too long since they are just the leaves. It's kind of like making kale chips...only WAY better!

    Go back and look at the Brussels sprouts reel again. Hers look burnt to me so I don't think yours look bad at all. I seriously think 450 is way too hot (my air fryer is the basket kind and it only goes to 400...so I'm going to try them at that temperature). One of the reasons yours might look a little dark is because you used cheese...and cheese burns pretty easily (remember that cottage cheese?! lol ).
    Speaking of the cottage cheese...her piles of cottage cheese are quite thick...much thicker than the ones on your pan. I'm wondering if that's why they cooked differently and didn't seem to burn.
    Last thing...for the cauliflower. I think this is the problem of the missing comma. It isn't a "large rimmed baking sheet", as she wrote. It should be a large, rimmed baking sheet. The RIM doesn't have to be large. It just needs to be a large pan with a rim. :)

    I think it might be beneficial for you to take a cooking class that teaches some of the basic scientific principles behind the specific steps taken when cooking and preparing food. You have good instincts, but your Brussels sprouts would have turned out better if you put the Parmesan on last, just as a garnish before the last few minutes of cooking. Also, the chickpeas should not have been put in the refrigerator. They were already cooked to crispy, so should have been put in an airtight container and left at room temperature.

  • @KIG024
    @KIG024 3 місяці тому

    You are not following the instructions exactly in any of these recipes (most of which are ridic, btw.). Surely in the cauliflower recipe you must have noticed that the color of the cauliflower was practically orange, whereas yours was barely anything but white. Obviously you did not add as much paprika as the IG recipe. Maybe that is because you didn’t measure (first rule of cooking) or because you didn’t use the right paprika(sweet vs smoked?) or your paprika, like most people’s, is five years old and you keep it right next to the oven where it is dried out even further. This is just one of the many ways in which you did not follow the recipes “exactly” as you stated you would do. Finding a reliable chef on YT and learning methods might yield better results for you.
    Editing to add that I enjoy your beauty content very much and you seem to take those experiments and trying new products and combinations of products much more seriously and successfully than cooking.
