pitfalls to avoid

watch out

Asparagus: Slightly more bitter and earthy than green beans

watch out

Broccoli: Florets have different mouthfeel than long bean pods

watch out

watch out

Okra: Can get slimy if overcooked — roast or fry only

watch out

Edamame: Firmer bite — won't soften like green beans

watch out

Brussels Sprouts: Dense sprouts need halving; cook time is longer

watch out

Zucchini: Softer and wetter; won't hold a crisp snap
