1. Cover the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

The dish is beautiful by itself, but you can add my crunchy “Twist”: add ½ cup of toasted pecans coarsely chopped.
You can also add an extra sharp “Twist” that will transform this dish into a true star of the party, by adding ½ cup of cubed, sharp blue cheese.
