For the deepest browning and best flavor, roast vegetables on a bare, oiled tray;

use foil if you want easier cleanup, and save the parchment for cookies.

I’m particularly interested in a low sodium version.

Put the empty pan in the oven for 15 minutes while you prep the vegetables. The preheated pan will turbocharge the roasting, the same way a preheated sauté pan will perform much better.

Roast them fast and hot. Pull out and flip half way to brown all over.
And throw a parsnip or two in the mix.
