👨‍🍳 Method

For the Roasted Vegetables

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°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
    Peel and cut the vegetables into even wedges.
