Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme to the baking sheet while roasting.

Serve with a side of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.

You can substitute other vegetables like eggplant, potatoes or green beans depending on your preferences.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
