Mix again and spread on the foil covered sheet in a single layer. Put the sheet in the oven and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, turning the potatoes in the middle.

While you cook the potatoes, saute some onion and garlic in salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until translucent. Once the potatoes are done, add then and saute for a few minutes to finish. Top or mix with eggs, roasted chicken or your favorite main dish for a perfect breakfast!

Roasting Cooking Pro Tips

Since roasting is one of the simplest cooking techniques there is, it requires little or no attention during cooking. This is why it's the preferred method for cooking large juicy cuts of meat as well as vegetables and even on occasion fruit.

If you are cooking large chunks of seasoned meat, many say that you should let the meat stand at room temperature for one hour before seasoning and putting it into the oven. This will help the seasonings adhere to the meat and better cook in. Another big meat cooking tip is to allow the outside of the meat to cook in an oven at 425° F for about 20 minutes. At this time, reduce the heat to 350° F and cook until done. By doing all this, you will get a meal that is less dry and more juicy and falvorful.

When cooking vegetables, feel free to cut or leave whole, just remember that if you cut them, the cooking time will decrease. Overall, the best way to roast vegetables is to season them in a large bowl with olive oil and your preferred herbs and spices. After that, put them on a baking sheet in one layer and roast with a heat and time based on the vegetable that you are cooking.

As with any cooking, there are things that need to be taken care of to ensure that the meal you cook will be healthy, tasty and safe to eat. When cooking, make sure that you heat any meat to above the required level to kill off bacteria. This will vary from animal to animal and cut to cut. The best option, if you have the means, is to use a digital thermometer that will tell you when food is safe. Otherwise, look up the safe-to-eat internal temperature and use a regular meat thermometer to ensure safety.

While the obvious may be stated, the meat and vegetables will be hot coming out of the oven and should be given time to sit before plating or eating. This is done not only for your safety but also because it allows the flavors and juices to settle, making the meal taste better overall.
