For extra flavor, try adding grated lemon or lime zest, different types of vinegars, chili flakes, chili powder, curry powder, or other fresh or dried herbs or spices. Roasted vegetables are very versatile!

*If cooking different kinds of vegetables together, make sure to cut the harder vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and beets smaller than softer vegetables like turnips and sweet potatoes so that all of the vegetables get done about the same time.
