Notes
- Use fresh peas in spring or early summer for best flavor and texture.
- Cook peas just until tender to retain a bright green color and prevent mushiness.
- Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even roasting.
- Arrange vegetables with enough space on the baking tray to promote crisping rather than steaming.
