Suggestions / Recipe Tips
To save time, you can buy pre-chopped vegetables, or chop your veggies ahead of time. I even like to roast frozen vegetables, no need to thaw.
Be sure the vegetables are coated well with the oil mixture. They should have a nice glossy coating. This will help them become crisp and brown.
Great vegetables to roast are potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, parsnip, squash, sweet potatoes, turnip, beets, beans, zucchini, bell peppers, broccoli, parsnip, onions and cabbage.
Do not over crowd them on the baking sheet, that is why I recommend using 2 sheets. Crowding the vegetables will steam them not roast them. Be sure the oven is at least 400ºF. Foil lined sheets make cleanup a breeze.
The cooking times will vary depending the the size and type of vegetables you are using. Keep roasting until you see the charred edges, that is what makes them so tasty.
Always use good quality oil. You can mix up the seasonings and replace the maple syrup with honey. Hot honey would be a vert tasty alternative.
Store roasted vegetables in a sealed container in the fridge. For longer storage these can be frozen as well. Easily reheat in the oven.
