You can strap the roof to create a vented airspace above the sheathing and vent up to a ridge vent. At lower scissor truss slopes you can use batt insulation and attic vent above. There’s a cathedral vault type batt for sloped dimensional lumber, but you then need to vent every bay.
Most just do a non vented roof and hope it’s “fine” unless the inspector calls them on it.
