# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan, which means your sink stays almost empty and cleanup becomes a non-event.
  • The smoked paprika gives you that smoky restaurant flavor without any fussing or special techniques.
  • It's the kind of meal that works for a casual weeknight or when you suddenly need to feed friends.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the pan; if everything's packed tight, you'll steam your vegetables instead of roasting them, and you'll lose that crucial charred flavor.
  • Stirring halfway is the difference between vegetables that are just done and vegetables that taste like they came from a real kitchen—don't skip it.
03 -
  • If you want spice, add crushed red pepper flakes to the oil mixture before tossing—not after—so it distributes evenly.
  • Buy pre-minced garlic for the naan butter if you're short on time; nobody's judging you, and it still tastes like you cared.
