To assemble

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, paprika, lemon juice, salt and black pepper into an even mixture.
