06 - Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or main course.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The way different vegetables caramelize at their own pace creates layers of sweet and savory flavor in every bite.
  • Its nearly impossible to mess up, yet impressive enough for dinner guests who think you spent hours at the stove.
02 -
  • Overcrowding the pan is the number one mistake—use two baking sheets if you need to, because piled vegetables will steam in their own moisture.
  • Stirring halfway through ensures even cooking, but do not rearrange everything too much or you will lose those golden edges that make roasted vegetables addictive.
03 -
  • Room temperature vegetables roast more evenly than cold ones straight from the refrigerator, so take them out while the oven preheats.
  • Listen for the sizzle—that sound means the vegetables are making contact with the hot pan and developing those crispy edges we are after.
