1. The only oven temperature you should use
The goal of roasting vegetables is the outside to become caramelized and crispy before the interior becomes soft and mushy. The ideal temperature to achieve this goal is 425 ° F. If you are deeper, you will not get browning and you will burn higher before cooking.
2. Use the right baking sheet
Your vegetables need space to roast. When they touch or stacked on top of each other, they become steaming and rubbery or worse, mushy. How do you know if your vegetables have enough space? If you do not distribute it in a layer without touching yourself, it is time to grab a larger baking sheet.
I always use aluminum Baking tray Because they heat up quickly and are easy to clean. Skip the non-stick baking sheets that do not stop well, especially if they are often exposed to high temperatures.
3. Heat the baking sheet
Just like you prepare a pan or a pan when cooking on the stove, you should preheat your baking sheet when roasting vegetables. Place it in the oven as it heats up and prepare your vegetables. If you make this jump to the kitchen, the vegetables help faster and more evenly.
4. Make the vegetables the same size
The best way to prepare vegetables for roasting is to cut it evenly to size. In this way they cook evenly and about the same. For most vegetables, consider to cut them into bite -sized pieces, about one centimeter. Smaller cuts cook faster and larger cuts take longer to cook.
The density of the vegetable variety is also important. Dener food such as root vegetables – idiot, beets and parsnips – take longer to cook, so cut them into smaller pieces.

5. Fry on the middle rack
Move the oven shelf in the middle – it is the best place to roast vegetables. It should be your main town if you fry almost everything. If you have more than a baking sheet, position the racks in the middle and upper position and turn them through the roast halfway.
6. Throw and turn
To ensure that your vegetables are evenly brown, you have to turn it around while cooking. Use an oven glove and a long utensil, such as a silicone spatula or a wooden spoon to support this task. A good practice is to take care of everything halfway. Set a timer to remind you.
7. Cooking time
How long it takes to fry your vegetables depend on how big you cut and how tight you are. For smaller cuts and softer foods such as broccoli and mushrooms, start with the 10-minute brand. When you are not finished, check again every five minutes until you are crisp. In the case of larger and denser objects such as beets and parsnips, check the 30-minute brand. If you need more time, put them back in the oven and check again in five -minute steps. The more you roast, the more confidently you get how long it takes.
