Expert Tips and Tricks

• Be sure to wash your veggies well before cutting and slicing. If you cut then clean any bacteria that was previously on the outside of the veggie will now be on the inside!
• You should be able to snap the ends of your beans off. Lining them up and cutting both ends off can be tedious.
• Roasted green beans and carrots have a toasted yet light flavor due to the lemon. If you prefer a flavor profile that is a bit more deep, just use a small amount of lemon juice.
• Using fresh lemon will provide more aroma but you can definitely use bottled lemon juice instead.
