Know your veggies: Dense vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips and beets take longer to cook and benefit from maximum browning so be sure not to overcrowd your pans. Higher moisture vegetables like broccoli, for instance, take less time and have a tendency to shrivel up without adequate moisture. For this reason I do crowd the pan, cooking until slightly underdone and also cover the cooked pan of veggies with another sheet pan or tin foil as it cools to steam a bit more. Use this estimated cooking chart below… Sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, beets - 30-40 minutes depending on the size Cauliflower 20-35 minutes depending on the size Broccoli 15-20 minutes depending on the size and amount of stalk used Green beans 15-20 minutes Heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel veggies where needed and cut the veggies to a similar size when cooking together to encourage them to cook evenly. Add veggies to sheet pans and toss vegetables with oil, salt, and pepper. Roast, 20 minutes to an hour depending on the vegetable, stirring at least once or twice during roasting for even cooking and browning.
