The Only Hack You Need to Make Perfectly Roasted Veggies Without Oil
Dana Shultz, the plant-based food blogger behind Minimalist Baker, recently shared her hack to mastering the art of roasting oil-free veggies, and it only adds a few minutes of prep-time to your dinner routine. "Steam your starchy vegetables first until just tender, and then finish roasting them in the oven. And for non-starchy vegetables, throw them straight into the oven with just the seasonings—no steaming necessary," she writes. "They don’t need the extra moisture because they're more tender and have a higher water content in most instances, so steaming would make them soggy."

While veggies like peppers, zucchini, and beets are totally fine as-is, ones like sweet potatoes, potatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts should be steamed beforehand with a steamer basket for four to six minutes, explains Shultz. After they're slightly tender and can be easily-pierced with a knife, you can throw on some seasonings and pop them in the oven until they're crisped up to your liking. Making dinner has never been easier—or healthier.
