- Check for Doneness: Roasting times may vary based on your oven and the size of the vegetable pieces. Check for softness and browning around the edges.
- Adjust the Spice: Add a pinch of cayenne for extra heat or reduce the chili powder for a milder flavor.
Fajita Vegetable Variations :
- Add Zucchini or Squash: Substitute or add zucchini or yellow squash for a summery twist.
- Go Spicy: Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the seasoning for extra heat.
- Try Sweet Potatoes: Roast cubed sweet potatoes with the veggies for a hint of sweetness.
