How to Roast Vegetables by Cutting Them

Cutting the vegetables is the first step in every roasted vegetable recipe.

To ensure that the vegetables cook uniformly, it’s a good idea to chop them into pieces of comparable size. I chopped the vegetables for this recipe as follows:

• Cubes of 1-inch butternut squash
• Brussels sprouts: cut in half, or if extremely little, leave whole.
• Break the cauliflower into 1-inch florets.
• Slice the turnips into 1-inch slices.
• Slice the red onion into thin slices.
• Cut radishes in half; if large, cube them.

How to Make Roasted Vegetables

It’s crucial to remember that various vegetables cook at varying rates while roasting a variety of vegetables.

I prefer to roast my veggies in bands on a large baking sheet because of this (see above). I can simply slip one kind of vegetable off the baking tray and put the other veggies back in the oven if it gets soft and browned before the others do!

Here’s a detailed explanation of my veggie roasting technique:

• While you chop the veggies, preheat the oven to 425°F. As the vegetables roast, this high temperature aids in their browning and caramelization!
• Next, season the vegetables. Arrange the vegetables on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Arrange them in a single layer, separating the different kinds of vegetables.
• Roast for 15 minutes. Next, examine the vegetables. Take them off the baking sheet if any are browned. Continue roasting until all the vegetables are tender and browned, checking every five minutes and taking them out as needed.
• Finally, season to taste. Put all the vegetables back on the baking sheet and mix them together. Serve after seasoning to taste!

Oven Roasted Vegetables Tips

• If necessary, use two baking sheets. Space is necessary for the vegetables to brown in the oven. Make sure none of the pieces overlap and arrange them in a single layer. Simply use two baking sheets if you can’t arrange the vegetables evenly on one. To ensure that the vegetables are evenly browned in the oven, rotate the pans halfway during the baking time.
• Just before eating, reheat the vegetables. The vegetables won’t all be perfectly cooked when you toss them together because you’ll be taking them out of the oven at different times. I prefer to put them back in the oven for a few minutes after combining them. That way, when I eat, the vegetables will be nice and hot!
• Uncertain about the time? Make use of visual cues. When in doubt whether a vegetable’s readiness, make a snap judgment based on its appearance. A fork should readily pierce it, and it should be crisp and browned around the edges.

Ideas for Seasoning Roasted Vegetables

Salt, pepper, and olive oil are the most basic seasonings for roasted veggies. But there are countless choices beyond that! Enjoy experimenting with this recipe’s flavors. Here are some suggestions to get you going:

• Before roasting, In addition to the olive oil, salt, and pepper, toss the vegetables with dried thyme, dried oregano, Italian seasoning, and/or garlic powder.
• After roasting, Squeeze them with lemon juice or garnish them with balsamic vinaigrette or apple cider vinegar dressing. Sprinkle them with Parmesan cheese or toss them with fresh herbs like sage or rosemary.

How to Store

Although roasted veggies are tastiest the day they are cooked, leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days in an airtight container.

Add them to a frittata, toss them with spaghetti, or use them in a grain bowl or salad, such as this wheat berry salad or this farro salad. For a simple side dish, you can alternatively reheat them in the microwave or oven.
