• Chop the vegetables: Chop the cauliflower and broccoli into florets. Chop the onion into 1/2-inch slices. Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, in half again lengthwise, and then cut each quarter into thin pie-shaped slices (see the photo). Chop the peppers into 1/2-inch strips, then cut the strips in half.
• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (we prefer this to silicone baking mats because it results in crispier veggies). Spread the vegetables evenly onto each sheet. Drizzle half the olive oil onto each tray, then with half the seasonings onto each tray. Mix with your hands until evenly coated.
• Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes (do not stir!). Remove the pans from the oven, rotate them, and roast another 10 minutes (for 30 minutes total) until tender and lightly browned on one side. Transfer to a serving bowl or dish and serve immediately.

• Bake in the preheated oven, tossing and scraping the bottom every 30 minutes, until vegetables are very tender, at least 90 minutes; longer is better.

MAPLE-GLAZED ROAST WITH WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Make the glaze: Whisk the melted butter, mustard, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder in a bowl; season liberally with salt and pepper. Set the glaze aside.
• Cook the roast: Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Place the roast in a roasting pan or baking dish and pour the glaze on top. Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake 5 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the vegetables: Put the vegetables on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil; add the garlic, season with salt and pepper and toss. Roast until almost fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. (If mixing vegetables, note that they may be done at different times.)
• Slice the roast about 1/4 inch thick in the pan. Add the roasted vegetables to the pan with the roast. Brush everything with the glaze from the pan, cover with foil and return to the oven. Roast about 10 minutes, then remove the foil and continue roasting until the glaze starts to bubble and caramelize and the vegetables are fork-tender, about 10 more minutes.
