]]>Root Vegetables
Root vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, and beets, are hearty and develop a slightly sweet flavor when roasted. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. Cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces before tossing in a tablespoon of olive oil, some salt, and your preferred seasonings. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they touch as little as possible. Roast for approximately 45 minutes or until the pieces are fork-tender and golden.
Cruciferous Vegetables
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower take on nice crispiness when roasted. Preheat your oven to 425°F, cut the vegetables into bite-sized florets, and drizzle them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can try adding some garlic powder or smoked paprika for an extra kick. Spread the florets in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for around 20-25 minutes until they are tender and nicely browned. Give them a gentle toss halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Summer Vegetables
Summer vegetables including zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes are perfect for roasting when they are in season. Preheat your oven to 375°F and cut the vegetables into uniform pieces, about 1 inch thick. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, along with some dried herbs like oregano or basil. Arrange the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until they appear slightly caramelized. Check them frequently to prevent overcooking.

Turnips
If turnips aren’t on your menu this season, it’s time to add them. High in fiber and vitamin C-rich, turnips can help you fight inflammation and stay healthy. In addition to roasting and cooking them, you can eat them raw and use them as a salad topping.
