Notes

  • Flexible recipe — swap veggies freely; add sturdy ones (carrot, sweet potato) first, tender ones (zucchini, green beans) later, leafy greens last
  • Flavor improves overnight; refrigerates up to 4 days, freezes up to 3 months
  • Actual cook time is closer to 45–50 min despite the listed 30 min (per commenter feedback on the page)
  • Serve with crusty bread, grilled cheese, or a salad; garnish with pesto or Parmesan
