Vegetable Roasting 101

You can roast just about anything, but vegetables especially benefit from the high, dry heat of the oven. Their flavor becomes concentrated and their natural sugars carmelize, transforming them into richly satisfying sides. For every kilo of vegetables, toss with 1 teasponn olive oil prior to roasting. Spread in a single layer, with space in between pieces, if possible, or they'll steam instead. You can roast different veggies together if their cookinng times are similar. Try different kinds of seasoning for easy-dinner-party-worthy dishes.
