During the summer veggies can surprise us with their natural sweetness. We don’t need to blend them into a soup or mash them beyond recognition. We challenged nine Whisk columnists, chefs, and food stars to “honor the veggie” and show us how to bring out the best in their chosen vegetable, leaving it recognizable. Here’s the catch—no overlaps! First one to reserve a veggie got to use it. Here’s what they came up with.
