# Chef Secrets:

01 -
  • It turns your produce drawer chaos into something Instagram-worthy without any fancy skills.
  • The herb sauce tastes like summer in a blender and makes everything taste intentional.
  • You can eat it warm, cold, or straight from the fridge at midnight and it still feels like self-care.
02 -
  • Don't skip stirring the vegetables halfway through, the bottom ones will char and the top ones will stay pale if you forget.
  • Make extra herb sauce because everyone will want more and you'll regret being stingy with the blender.
03 -
  • Roast the vegetables on the highest rack in your oven so the tops get those dark, crispy edges.
  • If your herb sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it drizzles smoothly.
