02 -
- Uniform Cuts: Cut all vegetables to a similar size to ensure they cook evenly.
- Don't Crowd the Pan: Use two baking sheets if necessary. Giving the vegetables space allows hot air to circulate, which is key for browning.

- Flip Halfway: Turning the vegetables midway through cooking ensures they brown evenly on all sides.
