Tips

Arrange each vegetable in a line and keep an eye on the roasting vegetables as they will all vary in their cooking time and you can remove them as they are cooked.

A bulb of garlic is the whole head of the garlic. A bulb is made up of segments of cloves. Roasting the bulb of garlic results in a milder sweeter garlic flavour.
