Roasting changes the flavor of vegetables in fundamental ways, bringing out their sugars and creating a flavor density that is hard to capture otherwise. There is probably no single thing you can do to vegetables that is this much of a game-changer. If you haven't tried roasting vegetables, then it's probably time to crank up your oven right now.

For roasted vegetable experts, however, you may need to change it up a bit. No matter how stunning eggplant is roasted in garlic oil, it can get a bit boring after the sixth appearance in a week. If you find yourself pulling eggplant from the garden by the bucket, do it differently:
