What to serve with

Quinoa
Side salad

Storage & reheating

Refrigerate up to 4 days.
Reheat in the oven to keep vegetables crisp.

Recipe variants

Make it protein-forward

Add an extra half cup of beans or tofu.
Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt if not dairy-free.

Make it lighter

Cut oil in half and add extra vegetables.
Use broth and citrus to brighten flavor.

Troubleshooting

Veggies too soft? Roast on a higher rack.
Chicken dry? Reduce cook time by 3 minutes.

Extras

Fiber slows digestion and helps steady energy by releasing glucose gradually.

Beans, whole grains, and vegetables deliver that fiber without excess calories.

That balance supports long-term metabolic health and helps you stay satisfied longer.
