Tips:

  • Choose firm vegetables: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of vegetables, so choose firm, colorful varieties that will hold their shape well.
  • Toss vegetables with oil and seasonings: Before roasting, toss the vegetables with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
  • Roast vegetables at a high temperature: For best results, roast the vegetables at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit or higher). This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to leave some space between the vegetables on the baking sheet so that they can roast evenly.
  • Roast vegetables until they are tender: The roasting time will vary depending on the type of vegetable, but most vegetables will be done in about 20-30 minutes.
