what temp to roast veggies in oven

For most mixed vegetables, a good general roasting temperature is 400–425°F (200–220°C).
Here’s the quick scoop in the style you asked for.
Quick Scoop
- Use 400–425°F (200–220°C) for most veggies for crisp edges and tender centers.
- Roast 20–35 minutes depending on the vegetable and size of the pieces, tossing halfway.
- Hard, dense veggies (potatoes, carrots) often need closer to 30–45 minutes at these temps.
- Very watery veggies (like tomatoes) can be slow‑roasted lower, around 250°F, for a softer, jammy texture.
Simple baseline method
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) if you want extra browning; 400°F (200°C) if you’re also baking other things.
- Cut veggies into similar, bite‑size pieces so they cook evenly.
- Toss with oil, salt, and any seasonings until lightly but fully coated.
- Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet—no overlapping—so they roast instead of steam.
- Roast 20–25 minutes for quick‑cooking veg (broccoli, zucchini) and 30–45 minutes for dense ones (potatoes, sweet potatoes), flipping once.
If you’re unsure, 425°F with a check and toss at the 15–20 minute mark is a reliable “set it and forget it” starting point for almost any pan of mixed vegetables.
