Tips for Perfect Roasted Vegetables:
Cut Evenly: Ensure all vegetables are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.
Don’t Overcrowd: Spread veggies in a single layer on the baking sheet for better caramelization.
Use High Heat: Roasting at 400°F (200°C) helps achieve a crispy exterior.
Stir Halfway: Tossing the veggies ensures even browning.
Customize Seasonings: Try adding Parmesan, chili flakes, or balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
