There are many ways to cook vegetables. Roasting uses a little oil and spices to enhance flavor. Softer vegetables (mushrooms, onions, zucchini) cook more quickly. Denser vegetables (broccoli, potatoes, Brussels sprouts) take more time to cook thoroughly.

Notes
Roasting can be done in an electric skillet. Stir occasionally and watch closely.
For dense vegetables like potatoes, pre-cook in the microwave about 5 minutes to reduce roasting time.
Try acorn squash, asparagus, bell peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, hubbard squash, mushrooms, onion, pearl onions, peeled beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, or zucchini.
