Looking for tips

Post by Cainanirs »

I've been experimenting with different oils lately and am curious about the benefits of olive oil. It's known as a healthier option, but what are some of the best ways to incorporate it into your cooking?

Olive oil could be a flexible and solid alternative to incorporate into your cooking. One common concern is its olive oil smoke point, but there's good news. Despite myths, extra virgin olive oil is stable for cooking at typical home use temperatures. You can use it for sautéing, roasting, or even baking without worry.

Olive oil is such a versatile and healthy option for cooking! I love using it as a base for salad dressings—just mix it with some balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, a bit of honey, and your favorite seasonings. It’s also fantastic for roasting vegetables; it gives them a great flavor and helps them crisp up nicely in the oven. Another favorite is drizzling it over pasta or bread as a simple, flavorful topping. Just make sure to use extra virgin olive oil for cold dishes or finishing touches to preserve its nutrients and rich taste.
