# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything goes on one sheet pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum lazy Sunday energy.
  • The vegetables get crispy edges and sweet caramelized centers without any fussy techniques.
  • It works as a side dish, a grain topping, or even cold the next day tossed into a salad.
02 -
  • Don't skip stirring halfway through—the vegetables on the edges brown faster, and moving them around ensures even caramelization without burning.
  • Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup effortless, but aluminum foil works too if that's what you have.
  • The vegetables will keep getting softer as they cool, so pull them out when they still have a little firmness if you want them to hold their shape on the plate.
03 -
  • Use a large baking sheet so the vegetables aren't crowded; overcrowding causes steaming instead of roasting.
  • Don't rinse your vegetables right before roasting—surface moisture prevents browning, so pat them dry if they're wet.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning after roasting, when all the flavors have concentrated and melded together.
