How much oil is needed?
Hi Shannon, we’ve updated the ingredients to clarify this point (3 tablespoons). Thank you for your feedback! Hope you enjoy it!
due to the fact that the herbs get put under the skin for roasting ! leave it on lol
what’s the temp in both fahrenheit and celsius?
Can you do this a day or two in advance and then reheat it? If so, how long and at what temp would you reheat it per kg? Many thanks
