The term "roasted" refers to a cooking technique where food is heated in an oven or over an open flame, causing it to brown and become crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. This process can be used for various types of foods such as coffee beans, nuts, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, and even fruits. The roasting process enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients by breaking down their fibers and caramelizing their sugars. Roasted foods are often savory, rich in taste, and have a distinctive aroma that is enjoyed by many people.
