Tips:

  • Cut the Vegetables Evenly: Cut the potatoes and squash into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. This will prevent some pieces from being overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the vegetables generously with salt, pepper, and herbs. This will help to enhance their natural flavors.
  • Use High Heat: Roasting the vegetables at a high temperature will help to caramelize the outsides and create a crispy, flavorful crust.
  • Toss the Vegetables: Toss the vegetables with oil before roasting to help them brown evenly. You can also add herbs or spices to the oil for extra flavor.
  • Roast Until Tender: Roast the vegetables until they are tender when pierced with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the size and type of vegetables you are using.
