4. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your roasted vegetables turn out perfectly every time:

• Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables! Carrots, Brussels sprouts, and asparagus are all great options.
• For an extra flavor boost, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.
• If you want to make this a complete meal, serve the roasted vegetables over a bed of your favorite pasta, like creamy garlic pasta.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this helps the vegetables roast rather than steam.

How to Serve

These Vegetais Assados are incredibly versatile! Here are some serving suggestions:

• As a side dish to grilled chicken or fish for a healthy dinner.
• Mixed into a salad for a hearty lunch.
• On top of a bed of quinoa or rice for a filling vegetarian meal.
• As a topping for your favorite easy pasta recipes for a delightful twist.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you’re like me and love to meal prep, you’ll be happy to know that these roasted vegetables store well! Here’s how to do it:

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
• You can also freeze the roasted vegetables for up to 3 months. Just make sure to let them cool completely before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag.
