# Expert advice:

01 -
  • It requires almost no skill, just a knife and your willingness to let the oven do the heavy lifting.
  • The house smells incredible while these roast, and everyone thinks you spent hours cooking.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day, making it a rare dish that improves with time.
02 -
  • Don't stir too early or too often; those vegetables need quiet time to develop that prized golden crust without constant disturbance.
  • The size of your cuts matters more than you'd think—uniform pieces mean everything finishes at the same moment.
03 -
  • Don't waste the charred, caramelized bits stuck to the pan; they're concentrated flavor gold and can be scraped into grains or soups.
  • A sprinkle of flaky sea salt right before serving creates little bursts of brightness that regular salt can't match.
