Roasted Dishes

One of the most common food items you can cook in our backyard brick oven is roasted vegetables. Roasting vegetables in a brick oven is a great way to bring out their natural sweetness and texture. We recommend cutting vegetables like squash, potatoes, and peppers into medium-sized chunks and tossing them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs before roasting for about 30 minutes at 400°F. When combining “potatoes or carrots” with peppers tomato’s and zucchini it bet to blanch them first as they take more time to cook.

As your vegetables cook be sure to turn them as you the char and this way you have an even cook and they come out amzing!

Backyard Wood Fired Pizza OvensRoasting meats Chicken or fish  It is simple and flavorful.  We suggest s rubbing the meats  with olive oil, garlic, and herbs.  Place it in the oven and roast them slowly while turning and basting. When cooking thick peices of chicken you might want to par cook them with foil on top for a while to get the temp up to 165f then roast away with high fire

Slow-Cooked Dishes

Food items that can be slow-cooked are mainly BBQ-styled food. Cooking baby back ribs is so easy with the right combination of heat and flavor. Typically it takes a long period of time for ribs to cook thoroughly but our wood-fired ovens are capable of offering the perfect all-around flavor.

Cover them in a black steel pan with foil and let them slow cook for an hour then when they are almost ready take off the foil , baste and get the fire going for that amazing char.
