Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Give me a clue as to what you are doing? Oil on veggies, what type pan, how hot is the oven, hot long are you roasting them?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Thanks for the help! Okay, I usually use a baking (cookie) sheet and olive oil. The main thing I want to get right is potatoes and carrots. I have one recipe that says 425 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes for oven fries - when I try this they are always crunchy and I usually have to leave them in for at least an hour. By then, they are no longer crunchy but dry, mealy or burned. Another recipe says roast ALL veggies at 500 degrees, potatoes for 24 minutes, carrots for 20.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I peel my potatoes and cut in half and the carrots I cut in half width and then lengthways. I oil them and bake in a long glass baking dish covered with for 40 minutes on about 425F. I remove the foil and bake 10 more minutes to brown them.
