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
