Go to the Article: Tips & Tricks: Perfect Roasted Vegetables
I *knew* where that Salt N Pepa link was going and I had to click anyway. Thanks for making my day, ChefSteps.
where in the oven do you place the tray for optimal veggie-ness!
brussel sprouts: halved
sliced onions and shallots with salt and pepper
roast the sprouts cut side up with salt and pepper
in a sealed foil packet, roast/steam the onions and shallots with some lemon pepper seasoning.
when soft, add the onions and shallots to the brussel sprouts, add some balsamic vinegar (I like balsamic with raspberry extract) wrap in a foil packet. *happy food dance*
"Cook at 425 °F / 218 °C" - fan assisted/convection or traditional oven?
But a truely cool Tips&Tricks article
This is brilliant. Would I be right in thinking that eggplant would go in for 25 mins?
Awesome, as usual! I got some questions though:
Is this method for root vegetables better than the one you guys have already posted? (https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/roasted-beets)
I am also wondering which exact oven setting (convection with or without two-sided heat etc.) is the one that is to be used here.
Eggplants and zucchinis would fall under which category?
Thanks in advance, you genius people of CS!
Salt N Pepa!
Is the weight or material of the pan important for this technique? Do you need a certain level of insulation to achieve the caramelization?
Hey Julius,
The earlier technique is great for roasting whole round root vegetables; this one works better for cut up pieces and when you're roasting other veg at the same time.
Two-sided heat will work great!
Eggplants and zucchini would fall under the shorter-time category.
Enjoy, and let us know how it goes.
Alex—we roasted on the middle rack, and moved the longer-cook veggies to the bottom when we added the shorties (to the middle rack).
Stalks of Broccoli? longer period?
Hey Jess,
thank you for the quick answer!
I've tried the recipe, super quick and easy as well as super delicious and savoury!
If I make this early in the afternoon for a dinner, what is the best way to keep it warm/reheat without losing texture and flavor?
How do you decide what is peeled and what isn't?
green beans... shorter time?
Depends how you like them. I usually cook them between 25 and 30 mn so I'd say so.
Definitely! We recommend a shorter time and higher temp!
Hi Aaron, it's very much personal preference! Some peels are better than others when roasted, but you can definitely go with what think you'll like best.
Hi Alessandra, you should be able to pop it back in the oven at 325 for 10 minutes to get it nice and warm without altering the components!
In what tray would you put some red peppers?? or maybe jalapeños?
Took some grinded pistaccios and added them to the Veggies in the ofen ... made them even better!
Any tips on prepping these to a stop point so as they can be then cooked quickly on demand for a restaurant? or is there a method you can recommend where their cooked and kept under a salamander or even reheated with out compromising on the taste and texture?
thanks in advance
I noticed you left the gills on the mushrooms. Would you always leave them on or does it depend on the mushroom?
I tried this and all my family loved it. It tastes amazing and the texture is super soft!
Can I use the onion cream instead of olive oil?
no buddy.
If I use asparagus how long would that need to cook

Another reason why I love the crew at CHEF STEPS! I did cauliflower tonight--dressed it up with fresh Nutmeg and Pistachio Oil. So, so good!
What about frozen vegetables? Anything that should be done differently? Whenever I've tried roasted from frozen, they come out mushy, not crispy.
They will always come out mushy. The cell walls have bursted and also frozen veggies are almost always par cooked.
