Roasted veggies are the unsung heroes of busy weeknight dinners.
This is the sweet spot for getting crisp-tender vegetables with just the right amount of browning.

Some ovens run hot, while others run cold.
The only way to find out is to insert a thermometer inside the oven.
Even an affordable oven thermometerlike this $5 onecan get the job done.

Both are often used interchangeably, but I associate roasting with a higher temperature than baking.
Baking occurs between 325F and 375F.
Roasting, on the other hand, occurs between 400F and up to 475F.

After years of testing, I found that 425F produces the best roasted vegetables.
Can you bake vegetables at a lower temperature?Of course, you’re free to!
If you dont care about these things, then a lower temperature will suit you just fine.
What about roasting vegetables at a higher temperature?Again, yes it’s OK!
Youll need to keep an eye on them as they roast.
