- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

- Swap vegetables based on seasonality: carrots, parsnips, or cauliflower work well.
