      Title: How To Roast Any Vegetable
 Categories: Vegetables
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lb Any vegetables; up to 2 lb
      1 tb Olive oil
      1 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Freshly ground black pepper
 
  Heat the oven to 425 F.
  
  Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425 F.
  
  Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
  
  Chop up the vegetables. Peel the vegetables if desired, then cut into
  uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook more
  quickly; larger pieces will take a bit longer to cook. If your
  vegetables still have some moisture after washing, be sure to pat
  them as dry as possible; the drier the vegetable, the better it will
  roast.
  
  Toss the vegetables with olive oil and season. Transfer the
  vegetables to a large bowl. Add the oil, salt, and pepper and toss to
  combine. Add more oil if the vegetables still look dry or don't seem
  evenly coated.
  
  Spread onto a baking sheet. Spread the vegetables out on a rimmed
  baking sheet, in an oven-proof skillet, or in a baking dish. Make
  sure they are in a single layer with a little space in between. If
  they are too crowded, the vegetables will steam instead of roast--use
  2 baking sheets if needed instead. Estimate your cooking time. In
  general, softer vegetables, like green beans and cauliflower, will
  cook in 10 to 20 minutes, and tough, hard vegetables, like winter
  squash and potatoes, will take 30 minutes or longer. Large pieces
  will also take longer to cook than smaller pieces.
  
  Roast the vegetables until tender. Place the vegetables in the oven
  and begin roasting. Check and stir the vegetables every 10 to 15
  minutes. Continue roasting until the vegetables are easily pierced
  with a fork or knife and they are showing crispy, charred bits at the
  tips and edges.
  
  Serve. Transfer the vegetables to a serving dish and taste; sprinkle
  with more salt or pepper if needed.
