Yes, roasting also brings out the sweetness 👍🏼 Pressure cooker uses less fuel (!) but maybe later crop we will try roasting again. Thanks It also works wrapping in foil and put on the BBCUE coals direct but need to keep turning them!

Yes, I’ve lost a fair few on the BBQ over the years - found ‘em the following morning, charred to a crisp. Bottom oven of the Aga overnight also - fatal!

No Aga, so not an error we will make but I suspect we might have tried that if in possession of one. I'll note that to pass on as advice to others. My learning for the day! Did you Bbcue direct to coals or in foil?

Have experimented with both methods. Foil is more forgiving of neglect, and avoids the need to remove the ash & inevitable charred bits. But there’s something endearingly primeval about cooking directly on glowing embers.

Haven’t yet tried roasting them in the air fryer, which should be more energy-efficient than the oven.

I'll get tbh onto it. It does dry things out a bit so might need a bit of help. I'm wondering out loud here...balsamic splash? Probably just a splash of water would do the trick

Could get messy though. I’d still do them in foil, I think.

Oh yes, was thinking to do that but a bit of moisture might be needed
