One of the frequently overlooked aspects of baking is the cooling process. Once you pull your freshly baked creations out of the oven, it’s essential to allow them to cool properly to maintain their texture and flavor. This is where a cooling rack becomes invaluable. Typically made of metal, cooling racks have a grid-like structure that allows air to circulate around baked goods, enabling them to cool evenly. This method helps to prevent sogginess in cookies and cakes, as it prevents steam from building up underneath the item.

Next, it's time to season your chosen vegetables. A drizzle of olive oil is essential as it helps to prevent sticking and enhances flavor. You can use a variety of seasonings – try adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, or your favorite herbs. A touch of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice can also brighten up the flavors and add depth. For an extra kick, consider sprinkling on some red pepper flakes or marinating the vegetables beforehand for about an hour.
