Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm vegetables. Avoid any vegetables that are wilted or bruised.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet or roasting pan. This will give the vegetables plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them caramelize and develop a nice roasted flavor.
- Stir the vegetables occasionally. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
- Serve the vegetables immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh out of the oven.
