Tips & Variations

• Use vegetables of your choice like zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or sweet potatoes to vary the flavor and texture.
• For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the vegetables during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
• If you prefer less garlic intensity, reduce the garlic cloves to 2 or roast whole cloves for a milder taste.
• Cooking times may vary depending on vegetable size; smaller pieces will roast faster.

Storage

Store leftover roasted vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to retain texture and flavor. Avoid overheating to prevent them from becoming mushy.

FAQs

Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried?

Yes, fresh herbs can be used for a brighter flavor. Add them towards the end of cooking or as a garnish to preserve their aroma.

How do I prevent the vegetables from steaming instead of roasting?

Make sure to spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding. This allows hot air to circulate and ensures proper roasting.
