# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The oven does all the heavy lifting to coax out incredible natural sugars.
  • It is a brilliant way to use up those slightly soft vegetables hiding in the back.
02 -
  • Peeling the zucchini is optional but it keeps the color vibrant and bright.
  • Letting the vegetables get those dark brown charred spots adds the most flavor.
03 -
  • Roast the garlic in its skin to keep it from burning and getting bitter.
  • Warm your bowls in the oven for a few minutes to keep the soup hot.
