Basically, you heat the oven to 500, prepare the veg as usual on a baking sheet or roasting pan, and then cover it tightly with foil. (Once when we were out of foil, I used another baking sheet on top as a cover, and it worked fine.) Then you cook the vegetables covered for 10 minutes--I've done it for as long as 15 if I'm using lots of root veg--and then uncover everything, mix it around a little, and cook uncovered for another 10 minutes or so until everything's done. It's a lot quicker than how I used to do it, and everything comes out tender and lovely on the inside and a little caramelized on the outside. It also works great for oven fries/sweet potato fries/root fries. Enjoy!
And thanks for the broccoli recipe--it looks fabulous!
If you use this method (which sounds great, by the way) make sure your oven is very clean! Otherwise you might set off your smoke alarm!
