Tips:

  • Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers is an important step in this recipe. It brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Make sure to roast the peppers until they are slightly charred and tender.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in this recipe should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The flavors are at their best when the vegetables are still warm.
