Notes
I’ve written this recipe to use a rimmed baking sheet for roasting the vegetables, but I have also successfully roasted them in a large cast iron skillet. If you want to use a cast iron pan, there is no need to line the pan with parchment or a silicone mat.
If you want to use herbs to season your vegetables, you can use dried or fresh. To use dried herbs, use 1-2 teaspoons. To use fresh herbs, use 1-2 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs.
