# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • The vegetables become naturally sweet and caramelized at the edges—no fancy techniques needed, just time and heat doing the work for you
  • It works beautifully as a side dish, tossed into grains, or even served cold the next day in salads
  • Everything comes together in one pan, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying your meal
  • This recipe is vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free, making it perfect for gathering people with different eating preferences around one table
02 -
  • Cut your vegetables as evenly as possible—pieces of different sizes cook at different rates, and you want everything finished at the same moment
  • Don't skip stirring halfway through. Even roasting means even browning, which means even flavor and texture
  • Freshly ground black pepper makes a real difference here. Pre-ground pepper loses its brightness and can taste dusty compared to pepper you grind yourself
03 -
  • Don't shake the pan constantly—let the vegetables sit long enough to develop color before you move them. Patience creates caramelization
  • If your vegetables are releasing too much liquid, increase the oven temperature by 25°F or roast uncovered to encourage evaporation and browning instead of steaming
