# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The natural sugars in root vegetables transform into candy like sweetness when roasted at high heat
  • Everything cooks on one sheet pan so cleanup is practically nonexistent
  • These vegetables actually taste better the next day making them perfect for meal prep
02 -
  • Cutting vegetables into uniform chunks ensures everything finishes cooking at the same time
  • Crowding the baking sheet will steam the vegetables instead of roasting them so use two sheets if needed
  • The high heat is what creates caramelization so do not be tempted to lower the temperature
03 -
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and actually taste better the next day
  • If you want extra crispy edges try roasting at 450°F for the last 5 minutes watching carefully
