Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Roasting
- Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated with oil and seasonings.
- Transfer the seasoned vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to avoid crowding.

Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro after roasting. Adjust seasoning to your preference, especially salt and pepper. If using two baking sheets, rotate them halfway through for even cooking.
