Technique of the Week

High-Heat Vegetable Roasting

Roast vegetables at 425-450°F with good spacing on the pan for caramelized exteriors and tender interiors. Toss with oil, season generously, and resist stirring too often. High heat creates the browning that makes vegetables irresistibly sweet and complex.
