How to Roast Vegetables Perfectly Every Time

By Ellen Gibbs at University of New Hampshire

Roasting a pan of vegetables to nosh on the whole week is not only a time-saver, but the longer they sit the more savory they become.

I like the combination of rosemary and sage with a generous douse of olive oil. Whether in a salad or on top of baguette smeared with garlic chévre, this effortless recipe should be a staple in every kitchen.
