Comment rôtir les légumes

Valable quand

• The portion is 200–250 g vegetables per person.
• The oven is fully preheated to 220°C conventional or 200°C fan/convection.
• Vegetables with similar cooking times are cut into even pieces.
• Everything sits in one airy layer; a pile steams instead of browning.

À quoi ça doit ressembler

Étape par étape

1. 1

   Cut firm vegetables smaller than soft ones and dry the surfaces.

   • Matériel: Sharp knife and cutting board + Spatula or tongs.
   • Chaleur: No heat during preparation.
   • Temps: 2–5 minutes.
   • Aspect: Dry pieces with similar cooking times are grouped together.
   • Si ça tourne mal: Large firm and small soft pieces on one tray cook unevenly.
   • Prêt quand: Dry pieces with similar cooking times are grouped together.

2. 2

   Coat with oil and salt and spread in one layer with visible gaps.

   • Matériel: Large roasting tray.
   • Chaleur: The stated working heat.
   • Temps: 5–40 minutes depending on ingredient and method.
   • Aspect: Every surface is lightly oiled; nothing sits in a wet pile.
   • Si ça tourne mal: Too much oil makes surfaces greasy; crowding traps steam.
   • Prêt quand: Every surface is lightly oiled; nothing sits in a wet pile.

3. 3

   Roast undisturbed for the first 12–15 minutes. Turn when the underside has golden patches.

   • Matériel: Large roasting tray + Spatula or tongs.
   • Chaleur: 200–220°C.
   • Temps: 12–15 minutes before turning.

   • Chaleur: Low heat or off during the final check.
   • Temps: 1–5 minutes.
   • Aspect: Edges are browned and centers are tender with some bite.
   • Si ça tourne mal: Pale surfaces need more heat or space; black tips require an earlier stop.

Si ce n'est pas comme prévu

• Large firm and small soft pieces on one tray cook unevenly.
• Too much oil makes surfaces greasy; crowding traps steam.

Sécurité alimentaire

Use dry maniques, keep your face clear of steam and place hot trays on a heatproof surface.
