Vegetable Roasting Guide from Good House Keeping Magazine

Those of you looking for a cheat sheet for roasting vegetables, look no further! 

You can thank me later...I stumbled across this amazing chart here. Before popping your veggies in the oven, drizzle every two pounds of them in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Also, place them on the tray into one layer to avoid overlapping which leads to uneven cooking. Thank you Good Housekeeping Magazine for such a great oven-roasting resource! Happy Roasting everyone! Did this help you at all? xx
