When roasting vegetables of varying density, it helps to stagger cooking times. In this recipe, the potatoes get a headstart in a blasting hot oven before the more tender vegetables are added to the pan so that everything is perfectly cooked when the pan comes out at the end of the total cook time. For successful roasting, it is important to use a very hot oven. The intense heat causes the natural sugars in the vegetables to caramelize and their flavor to become concentrated and complex. Fold leftover vegetables into your morning omelet or toss them into a midday salad.
