Meet Your New Best Friend: The Oven
Your oven. Oh, that gleaming box of wonder you used to know so well! Now reduced to reheating pizza and baking the occasional fish finger. Dust it off and turn it on, sweetheart—we're making Roasted Veg Delight. It's the nonchalant superhero of meals. No culinary cape required!
To start this show-stopping masterpiece, you'll need:
- 1 sweet potato
- 2 carrots
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Your favorite herbs (go wild, I won’t judge!)
Preheat that shiny oven to 220°C (425°F) and let the magic begin.
Chef's Secret: Perfection is boring. Aim for delicious chaos.
Chop Till You Can't Stop
There's something therapeutic about chopping veggies into oblivion. Think of it as channeling all your toddler-crayon-on-the-wall frustrations into something productive. But hey, let's keep it safe—fingers intact, okay?
Chop the sweet potato, carrots, bell pepper, and zucchini into bite-sized chunks. Toss them generously with olive oil, sprinkle salt, pepper, and let your herbs dance over the top. Spread them out on a baking tray and let the oven do its thing.
Caution: Upon smelling, you might find yourself displaying excessive culinary pride (recipe frame-up, anyone?).
The Waiting Game: Chew on This
As your veggies roast into pure perfection, indulge in some couch time. You've earned it. The beauty here is that while your oven works, you can sip some vino, catch up on your guilty pleasure reality TV (we all need a little escapism), or, heaven forbid, scroll social media in peace.
Roasting will take about 20-30 minutes. Th

Remember: You're the chef of your own story, and it tastes like victory.
