Toasting

A cooking technique that involves heating food, usually bread, to achieve a golden-brown color and a crispy texture. This can be done using various methods, such as using a toaster, toaster oven, or stovetop skillet. Toasting not only enhances the flavor and aroma of the food but also improves its digestibility by breaking down starches. It’s commonly used for making toast for breakfast, sandwiches, or as a crunchy topping for salads and soups.
