# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The edges get crispy while the centers stay tender, giving you texture in every bite.
  • It's genuinely foolproof and adapts to whatever vegetables are sitting in your fridge.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the pan—vegetables need space to roast, not steam, or you'll end up with soggy edges instead of crispy ones.
  • Stir halfway through, even if it feels unnecessary; it makes the difference between good and perfect.
03 -
  • Pat your vegetables dry with a kitchen towel before tossing with oil—extra moisture means steam instead of a golden crust.
  • If your oven runs cool, bump the temperature up 15 degrees and keep a close eye on the timing.
