4. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are chopped into similar sizes for even cooking.
Avoid overcrowding the baking dish so the vegetables roast properly instead of steaming.
Fresh herbs may be substituted for dried herbs for a brighter Mediterranean flavor.
