Steps
Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Put a rack in the middle so the pan sits away from the top element.
Wash the vegetables and dry them well with a towel. Wet vegetables steam instead of browning.
Cut them into even pieces. Broccoli and cauliflower into florets, beets into 2 cm chunks, so everything cooks at the same rate.
Pile the vegetables on the sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Use about 1 to 2 tablespoons per tray.
Toss with your hands or a spatula until every piece has a thin, even coat of oil.
Spread the pieces in a single layer with space between them. Use two pans if the tray looks crowded.
Season with salt and pepper, then roast for 20 to 30 minutes. Beets need closer to 30 to 40 minutes.
Stir and turn the pieces halfway through so they brown on more than one side.
Check for doneness. A knife should slide into the thickest piece easily and the edges should look browned and crisp.
Take the pan out and serve hot, or add a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of herbs.
Tips and common mistakes
Do not crowd the pan, or the vegetables will steam and turn soft instead of crisp.
Cut pieces to a similar size so small ones do not burn before large ones cook through.
Use a hot oven and keep the door closed as much as possible to hold the heat.
Beets can stain hands and boards, so wear gloves or work on a dark cutting board.
Questions
What temperature should I roast vegetables at?
Use a hot oven around 220°C (425°F). That heat browns the outside before the inside dries out.
How long do roasted vegetables take?
Most vegetables take 20 to 30 minutes. Dense ones like beets and carrots need 30 to 40 minutes, so check with a knife.
Can I roast frozen vegetables?
Yes, but thaw and pat them dry first. Frozen vegetables release water and brown less easily.
