# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The natural sugars in these vegetables caramelize in the oven creating flavors you didnt know existed in plain carrots and parsnips
  • Everything cooks on one sheet pan which means minimal cleanup and maximum time to relax while dinner practically makes itself
02 -
  • Cutting vegetables into uniform sizes is absolutely crucial or some pieces will burn while others stay raw
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or the vegetables will steam instead of roast, losing that caramelized magic
03 -
  • If using beets, consider roasting them separately unless you do not mind everything turning slightly pink
  • Let the vegetables rest for 5 minutes after roasting to let the flavors settle and develop further
