Secret Way to Make Your Veggies Delicious

One of the trickier challenges to prepare veggie recipes is roasting them on parchment. It has converted veggie-haters of all ages, because roasting removes water and condenses the veggies' natural sugars, giving them a dense, lightly sweet nuttiness (no mushiness in sight!).

Even the less popular veggies (such as cauliflower) taste amazing when crispy and roasted.

There are some tips to help you:

• Roast veggies at about 450 degrees. If your oven runs really hot go down to 425 or 400 but no lower to ensure crispy results
• Use parchment on sheet pans for a completely non-stick, easy cleanup surface instead of spraying the pan or foil with cooking spray. It needs no additional greasing and actually absorbs oil and moisture from the veggies as they cook to a tasty crispy finish.
• Cut whatever veggies you're roasting into as many evenly-sized pieces as you can so they'll cook and crisp up at the same rate. You can play with different shapes, from wedges to florets depending on what you're working with.
• Place all your cut veggies in a large bowl and at a minimum, toss with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. It's simple to add more flavors here too, just toss with some of your favorite spices or sturdy herbs like rosemary and thyme.
