Roasting
Place the seasoned capon on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth in the bottom of the pan to keep the meat moist. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest and Serve
Once done, remove the capon from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. Serve with the roasted vegetables.
