* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Cooking  with    ingredients  not  only  enhances  the  flavour  of  your  dishes  but  also  supports  local  farmers.  Today,  I  am  making  a  roasted  vegetable  quiche,  perfect  for  this  time  of  year.  First,  select  fresh  vegetables  like  bell  peppers,  zucchinis,  and  onions  from  the  market.  After  ,  toss  them  with  olive  oil  and    before  roasting.  The  key  to  a  great  quiche  is  the    mixture,  combining  eggs,  cream,  and  cheese,  poured  over  the    veggies  in  a  pie  crust.  Bake  until  the  custard  sets  and  the  crust  is  .

Correct answer: chopping

Explanation: Listen again to "After chopping, toss them". It comes after "After", so the word ends in ing.
