If you want to roast vegetables to perfection, try using these traditional Italian herbs. These spices are easy to use and add an extra layer of flavor to your meal.
Make sure your roasted veggies are evenly coated with oil and seasonings. This ensures they cook evenly and don't steam in the oven instead of roasting.
Rosemary
Rosemary adds a distinctive woodsy, pine flavor to roasted vegetables. It also complements a variety of root vegetables, including potatoes, carrots and beets.
Fresh rosemary is available at the supermarket or farmers markets in spring and autumn. It's also easy to find in dried form in the baking aisle of most grocery stores.
Its antioxidant compounds and phytochemicals have been linked to improved eye health, liver function, and lower risk of asthma. Additionally, rosemary contains carnosic acid that may help prevent cancer cells from growing in the body and can promote healing after an injury.
Rosemary is a versatile herb that's suited for almost any type of cooking. Whether you want to pair it with lamb, chicken or fish, rosemary is sure to add a boost of flavor to your meal.
Basil
Fresh basil is the perfect addition to roasted vegetables. It keeps them softer without becoming too mushy, while maintaining all the nutrients.
You can find fresh basil in the produce aisle or at farmers markets. It also can be dried and stored in a cool, dark place. Dried leaves last for up to six months.
This tender herb can be grown indoors as a potted plant or planted outdoors. It is resistant to Fusarium wilt. To prevent it, water basil regularly so the roots do not rot.
Basil is an essential component of many Mediterranean and Asian dishes. It adds a sweet, spicy flavor to sauces, soups and salads.
You can find basil at grocery stores or farmer's markets in plastic clamshell containers or full plants. You can use fresh leaves in salads or add them to pasta sauces and stir-fries. Dried basil can be purchased in jars and used to season soups, stews, and other dishes.
Oregano
Oregano is a flavorful herb that adds a robust flavor to roasted vegetables. It pairs especially well with a variety of other Italian herbs, like basil, parsley, and thyme.
Oregano leaves contain up to 4% essential oils that are primarily characterized by the aromatic compounds thymol and carvacrol. These compounds are believed to inhibit cancer cell growth and may slow or stop the progression of breast cancer.
Adding oregano to roasted vegetables can help them retain their natural sweetness and improve flavor and texture. Oregano can be sprinkled over the top of a finished dish or incorporated into the roasting pan before adding the vegetables to the oven.
Oregano is easy to find in most stores and at farmers markets. It is available fresh and dried, and can be used interchangeably in many dishes.
Thyme
Thyme is a herb with several health benefits, including being an antifungal, antibacterial, and immune system booster. It also helps improve your mood and supports oral/dental health.
It contains minerals like calcium, iron, potassium, selenium, and magnesium that help support your body’s natural functions. It can help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, too.
In addition, thyme is an antibacterial, antioxidant, and pain reliever that can be used to help with respiratory conditions such as coughs. It can also help reduce inflammation in your body and support digestive health.
It is also a good source of vitamin C, folic acid and niacin. It can also help prevent cancer, especially colon and breast cancer. A Portuguese study has shown that thyme can prevent cancer by inhibiting the migration of cancer cells and by stimulating cell death in tumors. It can also suppress COX-2, an inflammatory enzyme that causes many inflammatory diseases.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to make herbal remedies at home?
Making herbal remedies at home is easy. All you need is fresh herbs, water, salt, and sugar. You can use any herb, depending on what you want to create.
For example, choose mint, basil, chamomile, or lemon balm to make a soothing tea. If you want to make a cooling drink, try rosemary, thyme, lavender, or eucalyptus.
All you need to do is put all the ingredients into a pot and boil them until they become soft. Strain out the herbs and serve hot.
Add honey to the boiling mixture to make a tonic drink. Honey is a preservative and will keep your herbal remedy fresh for longer.
You can also combine two or three herbs to make a more potent brew. For instance, you could mix equal parts of garlic and ginger to make a powerful antiseptic. Or you can combine equal amounts of turmeric and ginger to make a potent immune booster.
Soak a clean cloth in warm water and place it over the affected area to make a compress. Leave it for 10 minutes before removing it. Do this every day until the swelling goes down.
Make sure you consult your doctor first before using herbal remedies. Some plants may interact negatively with other medications. Also, don't take large quantities of herbs because they can cause side effects.
Is basil good for kidneys?
The answer is yes. Basil is an excellent food for kidney health. It contains potassium which helps reduce high blood pressure. It also contains vitamin K, which is essential for bone strength. As well as this, it is rich in antioxidants which help protect against heart disease.
Basil is great for digestion too. It contains digestive enzymes that break down protein and carbohydrates. This makes it easier to absorb nutrients from your meals.
Basil is a wonderful addition to any diet. Try sprinkling some over pasta dishes, salads, soups, and sandwiches. Or add little stir-fried vegetables, chicken, fish, meat, and tofu.
It's delicious in pesto sauce and fresh in salad dressings. You'll find many recipes online where you can learn how to cook with basil.
Try making basil oil by adding a few drops of pure olive oil to a jar filled with chopped basil leaves. Let it steep overnight, and then strain out the leaves. Use the oil as a massage oil or rub it onto your skin.
It will leave your skin soft and smooth.
What is the difference between "regular" and smoked paprika powder?
Regular Paprika Powder (Piment d'Espelette) is an essential ingredient for our recipes. We use it for its intense flavor and color. It's also used as a spice and seasoning agent. Smoked Paprika Powder (Paprika Chorizo) adds a smoky taste and aroma to dishes. Both types of Paprika Powder come from Spain, where they grow the best peppers in the world.
Smoked Paprika Powder (Chorizo Paprika) is made from red peppers, which are dried slowly in special ovens. This gives them a rich flavor. They are then ground and mixed with salt, garlic, and spices.
Regular Paprika Powder (Espelette Paprika) is made by grinding green bell peppers without additives.

How To
How to use herbs safely?
Many people think that herbs should only be used under medical supervision because they believe that some herbs are poisonous. However, this is not true.
Many herbs have long histories of safe use. For example, garlic has been used for thousands of years to fight infections. It's also been shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce high blood pressure.
However, if you're pregnant or nursing, avoid taking certain herbs. You should also avoid them if you suffer from allergies or sensitivities to herbs.
You can do several things to ensure you get the best results from your herbs and supplements. First, always read labels before consuming anything containing herbs or spices. Second, take the lowest dose recommended on the label. Third, don't use more than one supplement at any given time. Fourth, talk to your doctor about how to combine specific herbs and supplements. Finally, keep track of your consumption to know whether you need to adjust your dosage.
