Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Red Peppers: Wash the red peppers, remove the seeds and core, and cut them into large chunks.
- Pumpkin: Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds, and cut it into similar-sized cubes.
- Onions: Peel the onions and cut them into wedges.
- Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, and cut them into chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped red peppers, pumpkin, onions, and sweet potatoes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Add the minced garlic. Toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated with olive oil and garlic.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh thyme over the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything a final toss to distribute the thyme evenly.
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking tray. Make sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges. Stir the vegetables halfway through the baking time to promote even cooking.
Once done, remove the tray from the oven and let the vegetables cool for a few minutes. Serve the baked vegetables warm as a side dish or as part of a main course.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure crisp and evenly cooked vegetables.
- Cut the vegetables into uniformly sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Toss the vegetables in olive oil, ensuring each piece is well-coated to enhance flavor and prevent sticking.
- Spread the vegetables out on the baking sheet in a single layer to avoid overcrowding and promote even roasting.
- Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking to achieve optimal browning on all sides.
- Add extra herbs or spices such as rosemary, paprika, or black pepper to customize the flavor to your liking.
- Let the vegetables rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
