Pro Tips:

• Cut veggies evenly so they roast at the same speed and you get that perfect golden finish.

• Don't overcrowd the tray – giving veggies space allows them to crisp up instead of steaming.

• Add extra flavour with a sprinkle of paprika, cumin, or fresh rosemary before roasting.

• Double batch it! Leftovers are great tossed through salads or wrapped in tortillas for easy lunches.
