Sure, if you’re just wondering how to roast vegetables on their own, you can keep things pretty simple. But as fall turns to winter, it’s time to jazz up your roasted veg by changing your routine with good seasoning, a new sauce, a new flavor combination, or a crunchy sprinkle. Find 39 of our favorite roasted vegetable recipes below, and get that oven cranked.
