Is this dish suitable for a keto diet?

Since sweet potatoes and carrots have higher carbohydrate content, this recipe may not align with strict keto diets. Using smaller portions or combining with low-carb vegetables can help adapt it.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

Absolutely! Roast the vegetables ahead, then store them in the refrigerator or freezer. Reheat prior to serving for a convenient side dish.

What are good protein additions?

Chickpeas, tofu, or nuts are great plant-based protein options that keep the dish vegan and gluten-free.
