18 Easy Roasted Vegetable Recipes to Wake Up Your Weeknights

Roasting a vegetable is like magic. It transforms that veg into something softer and sweeter inside, with a crisp, burnished exterior. It takes something fresh and vibrant and turns it into something cozier, deeper, and richer. 

Other than the best recipes, all you need to make the roasted vegetable magic happen are a few easy tips. Use a high temperature from the get-go. For most vegetables, 400°F to 450°F is the sweet spot for caramelization and a proper roast. Make sure your sheet pan has plenty of room for the vegetables to spread out. Crowding the pan makes for sad steamed vegetables, not golden roasted ones. Finally, try preheating your baking sheet while the oven preheats for an extra crispy, golden exterior on your vegetables.
