# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It turns simple vegetables into something deeply flavorful with almost no effort.
- The high heat coaxes out natural sweetness and crispy edges you cant get any other way.
- You can use whatever vegetables are sitting in your crisper drawer and it still works beautifully.
02 -
- Crowding the pan traps steam and makes the vegetables soggy instead of roasted, so give them space.
- Stirring halfway through ensures even browning and prevents anything from sticking or burning on one side.
03 -
- Use a large enough baking sheet or split the vegetables between two pans so they roast instead of steam.
- Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings in the bowl first, it distributes everything evenly and keeps your hands cleaner.
