To prepare, simply spread the contents of the package in a single layer on a baking tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper, or your favorite herbs and spices. Roast in a preheated oven at around 200°C (400°F) for 20-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. You can adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of tenderness and browning. Stir them halfway through for even cooking.
