Gabriela's tips
Small changes that make this recipe easier to fit into real life.
Get crisp edges
Let excess steam escape before the final bake or air-fry; a dry surface gives potatoes their best golden finish.
Make it your own
Use the vegetables you already have and keep the same cooking method; this recipe is flexible enough for practical substitutions.
