Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast at 200°C (392°F), turning halfway through. Check for tenderness with the tip of a knife. Finish with a splash of lemon juice or cider vinegar and serve with a cooked grain. Keep colors separate on the tray if you wish to preserve their contrast when serving.
