đŸ„•Extra Tips for Preparing this Recipe

  • Step 1

    đŸ„•Depending on the size of your veggies, you might need to use a larger pan. Adjust the amount of olive oil as needed.

  • Step 2

    đŸ„•If you don’t have parchment paper, I suggest tenting the foil over your casserole. Personally, I like to use parchment paper underneath foil when baking as I prefer my food not to come in contact with aluminum.
