# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The high heat creates a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender, a texture contrast that is totally addictive.
  • You get a perfect sweet and savory balance that makes even vegetable skeptics go back for seconds.
02 -
  • Crowding the pan is the enemy of crispiness so use two pans if necessary to keep them in a single layer.
  • The glaze can burn quickly towards the end so keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of roasting.
03 -
  • Use a spatula to scrape up the sticky bits from the pan and drizzle that goodness over the vegetables before serving.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet to bring back some of the crunch.
