Roasted Recipes

Roasted recipes are something that we all grew up with. Roasting is a cooking technique that uses dry, indirect heat from your oven.

One of our most popular recipes is this easy roasted turkey tenderloin recipe. We also feature a rich roasted gravy recipe, which is our kids' absolute favorite. (They have excellent taste!)

We feature several traditional easy roasted chicken recipes, including Thomas Keller's favorite simple roast chicken. But there are so many more delicious roasted recipes.

How to roast meat

We show you how to make many roasted meat recipes. There are a few important steps to know when making a roast.

1. Start by preheating your oven for at least 20 minutes. Then, use a paper towel and pat the roast dry.
2. Never put the meat directly in the oven, from the refrigerator. Allow it to sit for at least an hour on your countertop. You don't want to put a cold hunk of meat or poultry in a hot oven.
3. Apply a layer of butter or olive oil on your roast to help keep it from drying out.
4. Roast it in a wide pan with an internal rack. This will also help meet it from drying out. If you don't have a rack, use a layer of carrots, celery, and/or onion.
5. Let your roasted meat or chicken sit for at least 5 minutes before cutting. This allows the meat fibers to reabsorb the juices.

Safety note: Never let chicken or poultry sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
