4. Roast the Vegetables:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Stir halfway through to ensure even roasting.
5. Add Butter and Cheese:
- Once the vegetables are roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven.

Tips:

- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the vegetables from sticking and for easier cleanup.

- Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices to the mix for an extra layer of flavor.

- If you want the dish even more savory, a splash of balsamic vinegar before roasting can add a delightful tang.
