If you're roasting chicken, beef, or pork, make use of the oven heat to roast potatoes and vegetables at the same time.

Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and season with salt and fresh thyme and rosemary.

Add pepper using a pepper mill and stir to coat the potatoes evenly.

For sweet potatoes, add a little cornstarch to create a nice crust and crunch.

Cover the potatoes and roast them in the oven for the first 20 to 30 minutes to cook them evenly.

After 20 to 30 minutes, uncover the potatoes and continue roasting until they are tender and evenly brown.

Separate root vegetables as they cook at different rates; carrots and parsnips cook similarly, while turnips can be roasted using the same technique.

Peel and cut beets into wedges, season with oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them as well.
