Mistake 1: cutting the vegetables as you like Slice vegetables the same pieces. If you prepare vegetables with high starch content – such as potatoes or squash, then cut them into pieces with the thickness 2.5-3 cm, Then the vegetables won't burn and will be raw. But vegetables small size — for example, carrots — delicious cooked whole. Florets of cauliflower, or broccoli, just cut lengthwise and put on baking sheet.

Error 2: all vegetables need the same amount of oil When you've cut the vegetables, do not forget to sprinkle them with oil. But remember, different vegetables need different amounts of oil. For vegetables with a porous surface, such as mushrooms and eggplant, oil will require more than, for example, for roots. On a baking sheet with the vegetables you should leave about two tablespoons of olive oil, or a little more if necessary. But don't overdo it – the vegetables should be lightly and evenly glistening from the oil.

Error 3: you can only bake on the baking sheet You can also use and shape for baking. But, of course, the baking pan will be easier. The fact that vegetables contain a lot of moisture, and the high edge of the baking dish will not let it all evaporate and the vegetables can be watery. So experiment and decide for yourself.

Error 4: the pan must be filled out completely Let the vegetables will feel the freedom, give them more space. Here we just return to the previous item. The vegetables will evaporate in the baking process, so if you don't want for it to be mealy and watery, leave more space between them. It will also allow the vegetables evenly obzharitsya and brown.

Error 5: bake for a long time and at a low temperature Fried vegetables – it's not a stew. Put them in the oven at the maximum temperature. Then the vegetables are lightly browned and are crispy. At low temperature they will not be able to be covered with Golden brown and they will turn out watery.

Error 6: put in the oven and forget it Then get that one side will burn, and the second – and not browned. The fact that the oven heats unevenly. Bake vegetables for approximately 35-40 minutes and see what you can do in this time of times to flip.
