Roasted Vegetables Uneven
Some pieces are burnt while others are underdone because the cuts were uneven or the pan was crowded. Re-roast for evenness.

The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 remove the overdone pieces and set aside
- 2 toss the undercooked pieces with a little oil and roast 5 minutes more
- 3 recombine and season to taste
If it's still wrong
- Chop everything and use in a soup or stew.
- Puree into a sauce where texture is less critical.
Prevent next time
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes.
- Use two pans if the tray is crowded.
Notes
Why this works
Separating pieces by doneness lets you finish the undercooked ones without further burning the rest. Uniform cuts prevent the problem next time.
