Instructions

* First of all, you need to preheat your oven to 400 deg C.

* Now, take a shallow baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with aluminum foil.
* Put the seasoned vegetables in the baking pan and place it in the oven for 10-20 minutes.
* Now, take out the pan from the oven and stir the vegetables. Poke a fork in one of the larger, firmer vegetable pieces.
* If the fork easily passes through vegetable, it means that it has been cooked properly.
* In case fork does not pass easily, place the pan back in the oven and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
