Oven roasted vegetables recipe step by step
- To start, we must wash all the vegetables before roasting them. These can contain pesticides that are harmful to people in the long term in addition to eliminating bacteria that they may contain in their outer part.
- We start cutting the vegetables. We can use vegetable cutters to save time. We must remember that each vegetable is cut differently and as we will see in the tips, cutting is very important and not doing it randomly.
- We will cut the ends of the zucchini, eggplant, carrot and pumpkin and make thick slices with the rest of the vegetable. We peel the carrot and pumpkin and also cut them into slices.
- We cut the peppers into not very long strips.
- We take the floret part of the broccoli and cut it in half and repeat the process until we obtain 8 parts.
- We remove the skin from the potatoes and cut them into thick slices.
- We wash the mushrooms and remove the roots. We cut them into quarters.
- Once all the vegetables have been washed and cut, we preheat the oven to 200º.
- While the oven is heating, place the vegetables on a well-distributed tray and add dressing to taste. For example, we can put a little extra virgin oil, salt and ground black pepper.
- We leave the vegetables in the oven for about 40 minutes. We check by pricking the vegetables to know when they are roasted.

The 10 keys to cooking vegetables in the oven
To be able to prepare delicious recipes for oven-roasted vegetables, it takes a lot of practice and dedication. There are tricks that will make this process much faster and allow you to obtain results in much less time.
Cut vegetables properly
It is important not to cut the vegetables randomly since if they have different sizes and shapes the time it will take for each piece of vegetable to cook will be different. Therefore we can obtain much harder pieces than others which will make our dish not very successful.
Control cooking time
It is very important to control the time that the vegetables spend in the oven and not go watch TV or talk on the cell phone as this can cause distraction and obtain a bad result. It is important to keep an eye on the vegetables and turn them to achieve a uniform result. Cooking is an art and requires our maximum concentration and control if we want to achieve exquisite recipes.
Every vegetable is different
Each type of vegetable behaves differently and therefore will have a different cooking time and way of cooking. We have to take this into account when we have several types of vegetables on our tray. It is important to keep the times for each type in mind and put the trays of vegetables that take the longest to cook in the oven first and then add the ones that take the least. Each vegetable is unique, treat it as such.
Prevents sticking
It is important to control the cooking and put baking paper under the vegetables so that they do not stick. We don't want to have a good result and when we go to serve the dish it all sticks together.
Don't fill the tray
So that all the pieces of vegetables are cooked equally, apart from having regular sizes, it is also important that they have space and not that they are on top of each other as this can cause uneven cooking of the vegetables. Give them space and improve your results.
Check its status
As we have said in previous points, it is very important to control our vegetables throughout the roasting process. One of the tricks to know if the vegetables are done is to use a fork to prick them since if they can be pierced easily it means that we can now take them out of the oven.
Separate them by type of vegetable
As we mentioned before, each vegetable has its own cooking time. That is why one of the tricks is to distribute the vegetables on the tray depending on their type. This way it will be very easy for us to remove the vegetables from the oven as they cook.
Control the oven temperature
It is important to have the oven very hot when we put the vegetables in to roast them. The recommended temperature is 200-220 degrees. If we do not do this, it is possible that there will be a lot of water left in our dishes and this will detract from the quality of our recipes.
Use good seasoning
It is important to enhance the flavor of our recipes and a trick to do so is to use all types of seasonings. One that cannot be missing is extra virgin olive oil, which, apart from enhancing its flavor, will make the vegetables crispier.
Make the recipe yours
Cooking is making your own recipe. Change the times, the ingredients, add more spices, don't be afraid and try different things and in the end you will get an exquisite recipe that will be totally yours.
Baking times depending on the type of vegetable
In this section we show you the times for each vegetable since, as we said in the previous section, each vegetable has its own baking time.
It is important to preheat the oven to 220º degrees so that these times are exact. If your oven does not reach that temperature, the vegetables will be tender, but they may not be golden.
What type of oven do I use for my recipes?
There are many types of oven that we can use to make our recipes. There is no better or worse, everything will depend on our objective. In this case we will make a comparison between conventional ovens and wood-burning ovens.
The traditional wood oven
The wood oven will give a more powerful flavor to your recipe. Even mixing different types of firewood you can obtain delicious results since you will achieve a very interesting fusion of flavors.
The modern electric oven
With electric ovens we will not achieve a mixture of flavors as powerful as in the case of wood-burning ovens. However, they are perfect for beginners as they allow you to start practicing all types of recipes quickly and safely.
In the previous comparison table we see that apparently the wood oven offers many advantages. However, at recipesconverduras.net we recommend that you use an electric oven to start and once you have practice, switch to a wood-fired oven with which you can obtain better results.
