#### Ingredients:
– **Protein**: Choose your favorite, such as chicken thighs, shrimp, or tofu.
– **Vegetables**: Go for a colorful mix like bell peppers, onions, carrots, and zucchini.
– **Seasonings**: Think garlic, lemon, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
– **Olive oil or butter**: For that rich flavor and crispy texture.
– **Grain**: Rice, quinoa, or couscous work great as a base.
#### Directions:
1. **Preheat** your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. **Prep** the protein and veggies by chopping them into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle everything with olive oil or melted butter, then season generously with your favorite herbs and spices.
3. **Spread** the ingredients on a baking sheet, making sure to arrange them in a single layer for even cooking.
4. **Roast** everything in the oven for 20-30 minutes (depending on the protein) until the veggies are tender, and the protein is cooked through.
5. **Serve** over your cooked grain of choice and garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for added brightness.
### Why It’s So Smart:
– **Minimal Cleanup**: One pan, one sheet. Need we say more?
– **Flavor Explosion**: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness in vegetables and caramelizes them, while the protein absorbs all the savory spices.
– **Customizable**: You can easily swap in different proteins, veggies, or grains based on what you have in your fridge or pantry.
– **Time-Saving**: The oven does all the work for you, leaving you with more time to relax or prepare other side dishes.
