Goodness gracious! I made this as a side, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature helps get that crispy, caramelized texture that will make your veggies irresistible.
2. Prep the Vegetables: Wash and chop your vegetables into uniform pieces. The size doesn’t matter too much, but try to keep things relatively even for consistent cooking.
3. Toss in Olive Oil and Seasonings: Place your chopped veggies in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and your choice of herbs. If you’re using balsamic vinegar or honey, add a drizzle now to elevate the flavor.
4. Roast to Perfection: Spread your veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they’re golden, crispy, and fork-tender.
5. Serve & Watch It Disappear: As soon as the veggies are done, pull them out of the oven, give them a quick taste to adjust seasoning, and serve immediately. You won’t believe how quickly they’ll vanish off the plates!

Tips for Success

• Don’t overcrowd the pan: If you pile the veggies too high on the baking sheet, they’ll steam instead of roast. Use two pans if necessary to ensure they cook evenly.
• Mix up the veggies: While I love a good Brussels sprout or sweet potato combo, feel free to experiment. Try adding red onions, butternut squash, or even parsnips for variety.
• Get crispy edges: For that perfect crispy finish, make sure to give the veggies plenty of space on the baking sheet and don’t be afraid to let them get a little charred on the edges. That’s where the flavor magic happens.
