High-heat roasting concentrates vegetables' flavor and brings out their sweetness— a big reward for little effort. Use this recipe as a template. Most important: Cut into similar-size pieces, and don't overcrowd the pan.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

1 pound assorted spring vegetables (such as carrots, asparagus, radishes, spring onions, or sugar snap peas), trimmed or peeled if needed, cut into same-size pieces
4 unpeeled garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine vegetables, garlic, and oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring halfway through, until tender, golden brown, and charred in spots, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

  • Simple and delicious, though I ended up going for closer to 30 minutes. I used mostly carrots and radishes, the sweetness of the former balancing out the peppery flavor of the latter. I added some scallions and bell peppers for a bit more volume. I would peel the garlic next time and maybe add some onions. You can add sweet potatoes and/or cauliflower to make it a meal.

  • The picture doesn't do this recipe justice. I made the roasted spring vegetables last Easter. It was delicious and a great hit. I used asparagus, radishes, different colored carrots, red onions, and broccoli. The vegetables were colorful and delicious. I am making it again this year.

  • Fabulous! I used fresh spring asparagus, multi-colored small carrots, broccoli and garlic - all roasted at 450 for 20 minutes, turning once. I also separately roasted wild ramps for about 12 minutes. All flavors were sweet and the vegetables were done to perfection. Simple and very flavorful ~

  • I love roasted veggies! This is a good recipe, especially with the tips from nokitchen. If you have ever eaten roasted vegetables, the picture looks yum. Roasting distills the natural taste and sweetness. If you haven't tried a recipe its not fair to review the picture.

  • Yikes, totally gross looking presentation. Also I hardly see the pictured veggies as being cut into the same size. I would assume it tastes better than it looks...so 3 forks to be semi-gracious

  • 20 minutes x 450 degree = garbage

  • No two ways about it, these are some of the sorriest looking vegetables I've ever seen. Good luck trying to get anyone to eat 'em.

  • I use lemon olive oil and cover with foil to steam first. Then I add halved tomatoes and leave open to finish roasting. Much tastier.

  • I apologize for weighing in with nothing substantive to say other than to tell Cook from Charlotte that I have a new fit of laughter every time I read your comment

  • Painfully easy and, when made with vegetables fresh from the farmer or garden, just outstanding. Cutting the vegetables to similar size for even roasting and not crowding the sheet are the keys, but some vegetables cook more quickly, like tomatoes -- don't be afraid to throw the smaller or quicker-cooking vegetables in part way through the roasting. Serve on a bed of tasty raw vegetable tops like carrottops for an easy, attractive presentation.
