# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The vegetables develop these incredible caramelized edges while staying tender inside, almost like they've been slowcooked but in half the time
  • You can prep everything in about 15 minutes and then let the oven do all the heavy lifting while you pour yourself a drink
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that overcrowding the pan creates steamed vegetables instead of beautifully roasted ones, so use two pans if needed
  • Stirring halfway through is nonnegotiable for even caramelization, especially for the potatoes and eggplant
03 -
  • Room temperature vegetables roast more evenly than cold ones straight from the fridge
  • Letting the vegetables rest for five minutes after roasting helps them settle and the flavors to marry
