How to roast vegetables in the oven

  1. Set the oven temperature to 400 degrees. A higher temperature will sear the vegetables. Caramelizing them without drying them out.
  2. Line your sheet pan with foil or parchment paper to make for easy cleanup.
  3. Toss the vegetables with oil and season with spices spread in an even later on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes - toss the oven-roasted vegetables halfway through cooking so they can get crispy on both sides.
  5. The last five minutes of cooking add the tomatoes and garlic. Just sprinkle them on top.
  6. Mix everything together to coat the vegetables with sauce lightly.
Perfect Roasted Vegetables every time!!
