Instructions: How to make Harvest Vegetables
Now that we’ve covered the tantalizing ingredients, let’s dive into the steps to create this autumn masterpiece:
- Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F. Lightly grease or line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix and Toss: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Toss them well to ensure an even coat of seasonings and oil.
- Spread and Roast: Spread the coated vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. For optimal roasting, arrange the Brussels sprouts cut-side down, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. If needed, use two baking sheets.
- Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, remembering to stir halfway through. The goal is tender, lightly browned vegetables. Extend the cooking time if you prefer a slightly charred finish.
- Serve with a Smile: Once roasted to perfection, remove the vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Get ready to impress your guests with this delectable dish.
Tips for Success
- Prep ahead: Peel, trim, and cut the vegetables to size then wrap in a damp paper towel and throw in a resealable bag and store in the fridge until ready to use.
- Even size: Cut the vegetables to roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
- Tossing: Ensure even seasoning distribution by tossing the ingredients thoroughly.
- Do not overcrowd: Try not to overcrowd the pan or your vegetables will steam instead of roast. Use two baking sheets if your pan is not large enough.
- Taste: Adjust seasoning to taste preferences.
