👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    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
    Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer, without crowding.
    Baking pan
  3. 3
    In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, oregano and salt and spread the mixture over the vegetables.

    💡Give it room in the pan: crowded vegetables steam instead of browning.
  5. 5
    Take out the pan and sprinkle the Parmesan on top.
  6. 6
    Roast everything in a hot oven (200°C / 390°F) another 5 minutes, until the Parmesan is bubbling.
