Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Notes

Cut vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even roasting.Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to help vegetables roast rather than steam.For extra crisp edges, use a large baking sheet or two smaller ones.Add parmesan after roasting to keep the flavor fresh and savory.
