- Roast your vegetables: Roasting the vegetables before adding them to the sauce intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the vegetables, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant, but you can use any type of vegetable that you like. Some other good options include mushrooms, carrots, and broccoli.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar if the sauce is too acidic.
