Chef’s Tips:

• Add Protein: For added protein, feel free to add black beans or grilled tofu to the vegetable mix.
• Extra Flavor: Marinate the vegetables in a mix of lime juice, garlic, and cumin before cooking for an extra burst of flavor.
• Variations: You can add other vegetables like squash, eggplant, or even roasted corn for variety.
