Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe casserole or cast-iron braiser, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery, seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 7–10 minutes until tender.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
