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
Fiddlehead Ferns: Must be fully cooked — toxic if underdone
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
