Ingredients
  

For the Veggie Medley
  • 1 bunch Asparagus Provides a crisp texture and subtle sweetness; consider swapping with green beans for a change.

  • 2 medium Yellow Squash Offers tenderness and a hint of sweetness; same substitutions as zucchini can be made here.
  • 8 oz Mushrooms (Button) Contribute umami and depth; cremini or shiitake can be great alternatives.
For Flavor
  • 3 cloves Garlic Enhances overall dish with fragrant aroma; fresh minced garlic works best.
  • 1 tsp Rosemary (Fresh/Dried) Provides wonderful herbal note; fresh thyme is a lovely substitute.
  • 1 tsp Dried Parsley Brightens the medley; use as needed to accentuate flavors!
For Cooking
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil Ensures even roasting and enriches flavor; adjust quantity for perfect coating.
