It’s hearty without feeling heavy and simple enough for a weeknight, but flavorful enough that you’ll want to make it again.
This is the kind of meal that proves you don’t need complicated techniques to make something really satisfying — just a hot oven, a single sheet pan, and a little patience while everything roasts to golden perfection.
