Roasting

This is the process of cooking (usually large cuts of meats and vegetables) with indirect dry heat from your oven. Roasting creates a crusty exterior while preserving the juices and tender interior of the meat. It caramelizes any of the sugars in the vegetables and brings out their natural sweetness. It also caramelizes the fat or any glazes you put on the meat before roasting.
