Roasted veggies are one of the easiest ways to add more vegetables to your diet. They pair well with many dishes including meat, fish, and plant-based lunches and dinners. Here’s how to make perfectly roasted veggies every single time.
While the oven preheats, you want to chop your veggies. The idea is to make everything evenly sized so it will cook evenly. You can use any chopping technique you want and the preferred shape may depend on the type of vegetable.
Step 2: Prepping
You can easily roast vegetables without any preparation, but you can also make them more delicious with oil and salt. Use olive oil for added flavor and healthy fats. If you have a spray bottle, spray some oil on your veggies to ensure even coating.
You want to put the baking tin with the veggies in the top third of the oven because that’s where they will roast the best. For an even result, you’ll need to turn them once in the middle of the roasting process. Depending on the vegetable you use, you can either shake the pan or use tongs to turn individual pieces.
Step 4: Finishing
After you take them out of the oven, you can sprinkle your veggies with a bit more olive oil, salt, or add some other flavor like lemon juice, minced herbs, or vinegar.
