The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 spread on a sheet pan and roast at 425F for 6 minutes
- 2 toss with olive oil and paprika
- 3 season with salt after roasting
If it's still wrong
- mash into a puree with butter
- use in a soup or stew
Prevent next time
- use a hot pan and avoid crowding
- cut into even pieces
Notes
Why this works
Roasting drives off water and concentrates sugars, creating a firmer, caramelized exterior.
