👨‍🍳 Method

For the Roasted Vegetables

  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 lined with parchment paper in a single layer, without crowding.
    Baking pan
  3. 3
    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper on top and drizzle with the olive oil.
  4. 4
    Roast the vegetables in a hot oven (200°C / 390°F) 35–40 minutes, until the squash is tender and golden.
