What are the best tips for roasting vegetables?

1. Cut vegetables into uniform sizes and shapes to ensure even roasting and cooking times.
2. Toss vegetables with a bit of oil to coat them and help them brown.
3. Roast vegetables at a high temperature, like 400°F to 450°F, and roast them for shorter periods of time—15 to 20 minutes or so.
4. Have the right baking sheet or baking dish—one with a lip around the edge so the oil doesn’t run off.
5. Shake the baking sheet or dish occasionally to redistribute the vegetables and make them roast evenly.
6. Allow some space around each vegetable while roasting so they don’t steam.
7. Add seasonings such as herbs, spices, vinegar, garlic, and fresh lemon juice at the end of the roasting process for maximum flavor.
