Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
After 20 minutes, remove the vegetables from the oven and sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
