- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps lemon pepper seasoning (Dash Lemon Pepper Seasoning Blend)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C), positioning racks in the center for uniform heat distribution and optimal roasting results.

- Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, toss vegetables with extra virgin olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and kosher salt, ensuring complete and thorough coating for maximum flavor penetration.
- Roasting Setup: Spread seasoned vegetables across two spacious baking sheets in a single, uncrowded layer to facilitate proper caramelization and prevent moisture retention.

Notes
- Precision Matters: Use an accurate oven thermometer to ensure exact 425°F temperature for perfect roasting results.

- Spacing Strategy: Spread vegetables in a single layer with significant gaps between them to prevent steaming and achieve crispy, golden edges.
- Flavor Boost: Toss vegetables with oil and seasonings just before roasting to maximize flavor absorption and prevent soggy textures.
