Tips:
- Choose firm vegetables. Vegetables that are too soft will become mushy when roasted.
- Cut vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Toss vegetables with oil and seasonings. This will help them brown and caramelize.
- Roast vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Stir vegetables halfway through roasting. This will help them cook evenly.
- Add orzo to the vegetables during the last 10 minutes of roasting. This will give it time to cook without getting overcooked.
- Serve roasted vegetables and orzo immediately. They are best when served hot.
