# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The high heat creates these incredible crispy edges while keeping the insides tender and sweet
  • You can prep everything ahead and just pop it in the oven when youre ready
  • Its one of those dishes that makes people think you spent way more time on it than you actually did
02 -
  • Cutting everything to the same size is the difference between perfectly roasted vegetables and some being raw while others burn
  • Do not overcrowd the pan or the vegetables will steam instead of roast
  • The stirring halfway through is nonnegotiable for even browning
