burnt edges
Overdone outer parts
Burnt edges are the charred, crispy portions along the margins of food—pizza crust, toast, lasagna, barbecued meat.
What counts as burnt varies by taste: some people trim burnt edges off; others seek them out for their bitter, caramelized flavor.
I actually like the burnt edges on the casserole.
