How to Roast Vegetables - 2 Methods

Roasting vegetables can be done in the oven or on the grill. I am a seasonal person because during the winter I use the oven and tend to use root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, Brussel sprouts, beets...

But, during the summer, in an effort to keep the kitchen cool, I love roasting vegetables outdoors on the grill and tend to roast fresh from our garden produce.

To ensure the vegetables are done to the same consistency, baking in the order given is important.

Tips for Roasting Different Vegetables

Add vegetables to the same baking pans according to their required cook time.
Root vegetables like carrots, beets, carrots, turnip, tend to take longer to roast (up to 45 minutes). Be sure to group these veggies together so they finish about the same time.
Other vegetables like onions, garlic, and cruciferous vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage), don't require as much time to cook. They take about 25 minutes so, I like to put all these on a pan together.

How to Roast Vegetables in the Oven

While you can see the specific steps in the recipe below, I thought I would give the basics of roasted vegetables because they work for any vegetable you want to roast.

Roasting requires a hot oven. So, preheat the oven to 400F.
Clean the vegetables and cut into chunky bite sized pieces.
Toss the veggies liberally with olive oil to coat or you can also spritz them. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder or other seasonings.
Spread vegetables in shallow baking dish. Stir frequently. Bake for 30 mins - 1 hour or until tender and golden. The cooking time depends on the vegetables and the size of the pieces.
See the recipe for details for this veggie combination.
Serve and Enjoy!
