# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The vegetables caramelize into something sweet and complex without any fussing or special skills.
  • It's the kind of dish that works alongside almost anything, or stands alone as a meal.
  • Everything happens on one pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum time to actually enjoy eating.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway stir—vegetables roast unevenly without it, and you'll end up with some burnt corners and some pale, undercooked pieces.
  • The parchment paper is worth the small extra step because it prevents sticking and means you can actually enjoy your meal instead of spending thirty minutes scrubbing blackened pan.
  • Taste as you go so you know exactly how much salt and pepper your particular vegetables need, because they all have different water content and intensity.
03 -
  • Buy vegetables that feel firm and look bright—they're at their best and will caramelize more evenly than older produce.
  • Don't wash the mushrooms under running water; brush them gently with a damp cloth so they stay intact and don't absorb excess moisture that prevents browning.
