FAQ

What is chili crisp?

Chili crisp is a crunchy chili-oil condiment packed with garlic, chili flakes, and texture. It adds heat and flavor without being overwhelmingly spicy.

Can I swap the vegetables?

Yes. Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, or zucchini all work well. Just adjust the roasting time for thicker vegetables.

How do I keep roasted vegetables from getting soggy?

Spread them in a single layer on two baking sheets so they aren’t crowded, and use a hot oven (425°F) for better caramelization.

Is this dish very spicy?

The heat level depends on your brand of chili crisp. Start with less if you’re sensitive to spice and add more to taste.
