19. Roast Carrots

Native Americans roasted unhusked corn directly in the coals of a fire. It’s hard for me to not imagine any indigenous people not roasting any whole, solid vegetable with a significant skin or covering in a fire. Today, you can find many recipes online to roast potatoes and corn on your grill. Whether ancient or recent, baking whole vegetables by direct heat has always been independent of the cook having an oven.
