How to Roast Vegetables Like a Pro
- Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- To prevent soggy vegetables, make sure that after they have been washed that you dry them off completely with paper towels. Moisture is not a friend of roasting.
- Roast vegetables on high heat for best results. This helps them cook quickly and create a crispy exterior. Just be sure to keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Adding too much to the pan can cause the vegetables to steam instead of roast, which can result in a soggy texture.
- To make clean up a cinch, use parchment paper or a non-stick pan.
- Don’t be afraid to season them. Roasting intensifies flavors so just make sure to use herbs and spices you really enjoy.
- Check on them halfway through cooking. If it looks like they are browning on the bottom, just take a spatula and flip them over.
What Vegetables are Keto Friendly?
One of the main misunderstandings about vegetables on Keto is that you are limited to cruciferous vegetables only. That is not necessarily true. There are many wonderful low-carb vegetables you can enjoy guilt-free on Keto.
I wrote an article, Best Vegetables on Keto, on this very subject. Check it out and you'll see how many delicious choices there are.
What Temperature is Best for Roasting Vegetables?
As a general rule of thumb, it's best to roast vegetables at a high temperature of between 400°F-425°F. This higher temp allows the vegetables to cook evenly and develop a nice, caramelized exterior without burning.
What is the Lowest Carb Root Vegetable?
This recipe does not include root veggies but feel free to add them in if you prefer.
One of the lowest-carb root vegetables is the turnip. There are other root-veggies that are fairly low in carb, like radishes, and carrots. The main thing to keep in mind is to enjoy root vegetables in moderation.

Hi, Julianne. As you know, I'm a fan of your cooking! you were exactly right with the overcrowded pan for roasted vegetables. They were delicious, but more steamed than roasted, which is just what you warned. Thank you for another GREAT recipe!
