# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The natural sugars in these vegetables create an almost candylike sweetness without any added sugar
  • Its completely foolproof even if youve never roasted vegetables before
  • Leftovers somehow taste even better the next day
02 -
  • Cutting vegetables to the same size is the difference between perfectly roasted and some pieces burnt while others are raw
  • Dont overcrowd the pan or youll end up with steamed vegetables instead of roasted ones
  • Stirring halfway through prevents sticking and helps all sides get that beautiful color
03 -
  • Roast these vegetables on the lowest rack of your oven for the most even browning
  • Let the sheet pan cool slightly before transferring to avoid tearing the parchment
