- Place vegetables in a medium bowl and pour oil over top.
- Add garlic powder and mix well.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread mixture into a baking sheet or shallow baking pan.

Tips and variations
- Teens can peel and chop vegetables.
- Younger children can stir ingredients together.
- Do not crowd the vegetables or use too deep of a baking pan. Doing so will steam vs. roast the vegetables.
- Experiment with a variety of vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, beets, etc.), herbs, and spices (basil, rosemary, thyme, etc.).
