Roasted Vegetable Sheet Pan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Dry the chickpeas thoroughly with a paper towel — moisture prevents crisping.
- Toss all vegetables and chickpeas with olive oil, spices, salt, and pepper. Spread in a SINGLE LAYER on two sheet pans — don't crowd or they'll steam.
- Roast 25-30 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Everything should be golden and caramelized at the edges.
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh herbs. Add crumbled feta if desired. Serve over rice, couscous, or just as is.
Notes
The single layer rule is non-negotiable for roasting. If you crowd the pan, the vegetables steam and go limp instead of caramelizing. Use two pans if needed.
