# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The way the turmeric creates this gorgeous golden coating that makes everything look like it came from a fancy restaurant
  • You can throw in whatever vegetables are sitting in your crisper drawer and they always come out tasting intentional
02 -
  • Crowding the baking sheet is the fastest way to end up with steamed instead of roasted vegetables, so use two sheets if needed
  • That stir halfway through is non negotiable for getting even color on all sides
03 -
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform sizes so everything finishes roasting at the same time
  • Let the baking sheet cool completely before cleaning to avoid warping it
