### Step 2: Roast the Vegetables
1. **Roast the vegetables** in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until they’re tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.

3. Stir in the **cream**, and let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Add salt, pepper, and a splash of **balsamic vinegar** for depth.
4. Once the sauce has reached a creamy consistency, **remove it from heat** and stir in the **chopped parsley**.

### Step 4: Assemble the Dish

## Tips for Perfecting Herb Haven

– **Herb Variations**: If you prefer different herbs, feel free to experiment! Fresh basil, sage, or oregano would all be wonderful substitutes or additions to the thyme and rosemary.
– **Vegetable Substitutions**: Swap out the vegetables based on what’s in season or what you have on hand. Sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and asparagus are excellent alternatives.
– **Make it Vegan**: For a vegan version, swap the cream for coconut milk or a plant-based cream substitute, and omit the Parmesan or use a vegan cheese alternative.
