Notes
- In spring or early summer, try making this recipe with fresh peas.
- Don't overcook the peas. For an ultra-bright green color, cook them just until tender.
- Cut the roasted vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
- Give the veggies room when cooking. Use a large enough baking pan so the veggies can be spread out. They will cook more quickly and crisp up better.
