400°F (204°C) is one of the most common oven temperatures in American recipes — the go-to for roasting vegetables, baking chicken, crispy pizza, and one-pan dinners. The Maillard reaction accelerates, producing golden-brown crusts and caramelized edges. Root vegetables develop their best flavor roasted 25–40 min at 400°F. For Celsius ovens, use 200°C conventional or 180°C fan.
