# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • These vegetables develop an incredible sweetness thats almost like candy but savory enough to pair with anything
  • The herb aroma fills your entire house making it feel cozy and welcoming before dinner even starts
02 -
  • Crowding the baking sheet will steam the vegetables instead of roasting them, so use two sheets if needed
  • Different vegetables cook at different rates so cut everything into similar sizes for even doneness
03 -
  • Preheat your baking sheet for extra crispy edges, just be careful when adding the vegetables
  • Let the vegetables rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving so they develop slightly firmer edges
