Cooking Notes
450 degrees for an hour seems a little much. There's too great a chance that you'll end up burning the veggies at such a high temperature. I recommend lowering the temperature to 400, and stirring every fifteen minutes or to make sure the veggies cook more or less evenly.
It's tasty, but this recipe is slightly sweet, and, without the salt added, keep that in mind when using it, especially if you're freezing it and using it later.
I made this in my Instant Pot and combined ingredients with the recipe from the Instant Pot site. I added saved celery and carrot tops, beet stems, and other miscellaneous vegetable trimmings. I added Vegeta vegetable broth seasoning and I used an almost whole garlic head. 15 minutes at high pressure, cool for (at least) 15 min and vent. Strained out veggies and mashed them for compost, "zucchini" bread or add to dog food.
That must be simpler way to make vegetable stock. I followed the recipe exactly and then I got burnt vegetable. This is horrible!
Peter is correct. Convection roasted at 400 deg. & failed to stir in time. Substituted shiitake mushrooms & porcini water for tomato. Good taste without using salt.
I used half the veggies in this recipe and only got 1 quart of stock. Whaaaat'd I do wrong.
Why peel the onions? Onion skin adds such richness to stock.
Because you're going to put them in the oven and the peels will just burn? I suppose you could add them later.

Onions are toxic to dogs - so are garlic, leeks and members of the onion family https://duckduckgo.com/?q=onion+toxicity+in+dogs
Couldn’t find plum tomatoes so used standard. And added 1 leek, sliced and cleaned. Came out great. Using for squash risotto recipe.
