Why It Works
  • Roasting the vegetables at a high temperature helps to caramelize them, which gives them a delicious sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • The avocado oil adds a rich, nutty flavor to the vegetables, and it also helps to keep them moist and tender.
  • The combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, and cumin creates a flavorful spice blend that perfectly complements the roasted vegetables.
