Follow the steps below to cook the desired recipe
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Wash and slice the carrots and sweet pepper into thin strips.
3. In a large bowl, mix the veggies with chopped garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
