Instructions

Start by preheating your oven. A hot oven is essential to create crispy edges and perfectly cooked interiors. You can lower the temperature slightly for delicate vegetables to avoid burning them.
Wash your vegetables thoroughly and pat them dry to remove excess moisture. Cut them into uniform pieces to make sure they are evenly cooking—smaller pieces for harder veggies and slightly larger ones for softer vegetables. Proper preparation sets the stage for consistent roasting results.
Sprinkle with your favorite seasonings. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Leave space between each piece to allow for proper air circulation, which helps them roast instead of steam.
Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven. Halfway through, use tongs or a spatula to flip them. Serve your roasted vegetables hot as a side dish, salad topping, or main course component.

Notes

Halfway through roasting, give the pan a gentle shake or toss the veggies.
Pat them dry if needed, especially for watery vegetables like eggplant or mushrooms.
A drizzle of balsamic glaze can add an extra layer of flavor.
