What temp for roasted potato and root veg
I am bringing new roasted potato and carrot, parsnip, sweet potato mix to Thanksgiving. Very simple, just olive oil, fresh rosemary, S+P. I will cut them all uniformly. What temp and for how long should I roast? Thank you for your help.

In my experience, sweet potatoes, for instance, cook more quickly than white potatoes when they're cut up. (But I don't parboil my whities.) I do find that when I roast vegetables I can be a little flexible about temp and time, anywhere from 350 to 425. The time depends on how large the chunks are. How large are you planning on cutting them?

I was thinking of halving potatoes and putting in separate pan and approx 1 inch chuncks for everything else. I want crispy so i was thinking of blasting in a high oven to reheat when we arrive.

i usually roast my veggies separately and then toss together.... or if i'm using a large sheet pan, i keep them in separate piles and then take
them out as they are done.
450 - 475 degrees .... and of course, tossed with olive oil. you have to
move 'em around a little because the ones on the edges usually brown more quickly than the ones in the middle.... as for the amount of time?
i'm saying it usually takes 30-40 minutes..... depending upon what kind of oven you have and what shelf you're using.

475!

Wow, you guys all cook so hot! I use the oven at 350 for about an hour but I would assume if you cook at 475 it would take a lot less time.

Yeah, I blast the crap out of 'em, too (450-475 for 40 minutes or so), but I like really caramelized edges. Sometimes I'll even cheat it and toss the veggies in a wee sprinkle of white sugar above and beyond the oil, salt, and spices, to make sure I get the caramelized crunch I like.
Then again, I don't cut the potatoes and veg into bite-sized pieces. They're still big enough that you would have to cut them with your fork.

Thank you all. I will separate the veggies by type and remove as necessary. I'll try 450 since that seens to be the consensus.

I would do it at 400F for about 30-45 minutes... just check them often after the 30min mark.
