Let’s face it—vegetables often get pushed to the side, both on the plate and in our meal planning. But here’s a simple trick to make them the star of your meals: roasting! When veggies hit the oven, something magical happens. The natural sugars caramelize, flavors intensify, and suddenly, even the most skeptical eaters start grabbing seconds.
The best part? Roasting works beautifully for both fresh and frozen veggies, meaning you can always have something on hand to toss onto a sheet pan. With just a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of seasoning, and a little time in the oven, you’ve got a tray full of golden, crispy goodness. We should all be eating at least 3-5 servings of vegetables per day (1 serving = about 1/2 cup cooked) and roasting makes this goal deliciously effortless.
