Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 1 bunch Asparagus Tender and slightly sweet, perfect for spring.
  • 2 medium Carrots Add a touch of sweetness and crunch.
  • 1 cup Radishes Bring a peppery bite that mellows when roasted.
  • 1 medium Bell Pepper Colorful and juicy, adding natural sweetness.
  • 1 medium Red Onion Adds depth and a lovely caramelized flavor.
Seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil Enhances flavor and crisp texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for amplifying all the veggie flavors.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper Adds a gentle kick to the mix.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and chop all the vegetables into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
Cooking
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until coated.
  2. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  4. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, try parboiling the vegetables for a couple of minutes before roasting. Swap out vegetables based on seasonal availability for a fresh twist each time. Add herbs like thyme or rosemary for an aromatic flavor boost.
