Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), and lightly oil a large roasting pan or ceramic baking dish.
Place all of the veggies and garlic into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, and add the herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine. Make sure everything is well coated with oil.
Take out the potatoes and place them on the roasting pan, then roast for 10 minutes. Add the remaining vegetables and roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until all of the vegetables are fork tender and lightly charred.
Remove from oven and serve immediately. You can garnish with some freshly grated parmesan or Manchego cheese on top for even more flavor!

Notes

Spread the veggies out on a large baking sheet for the best results. I like baking directly on the sheet, but if you must, use parchment paper or foil.

Never cover your vegetables! This will steam them and make them soggy.

Resist the urge to move them around while cooking. We want them to stick and caramelize just a bit.

Taste and add more sea salt before serving if necessary.

For a touch of Spanish flavor, add a pinch of pimentón de la Vera (smoked Spanish paprika) right before serving.
