How Long Should You Let Vegetables Roast in a Roaster?

Roasted vegetables are a tasty addition to any meal.

Quick Cooking Tips

Some vegetables that are made up of a lot of water, such as eggplant, zucchini, broccoli and cauliflower, will roast more quickly than other types of vegetables--in about 30 minutes. Also, if you are in a time crunch, cut the vegetables into small pieces as they will cook faster.

Slow Cooking Tips

Some starchier vegetables such as carrots or potatoes take up to one full hour to roast. Cutting them into smaller pieces or raising the oven temperature can help a bit.

Bottom Line

The amount of time it takes you to roast vegetables is completely dependent upon which vegetables you choose to roast. It can be as quick as 30 minutes or as long as an hour. You can mix vegetables that roast quickly with vegetables that roast slowly if you are careful to watch them, mix them up from time to time and cut slower-cooking pieces smaller to help them cook more evenly.
