Baked veggie part 1

First question is why there is a "part 1" in the name?

Recently I have become a fan of baking. I am trying to make baked vegetables in different ways and I do not have a big stock of names. That's why there is a "Part 1". I have just made it.. Actually it's still inside the oven.

Today I came back home pretty tired. I had to cook but was not in a mood and did not have my essential ingredients at home like onions etc. Suddenly this idea came into my mind. It has come out really good. So here is the recipe for my Baked veggie Part 1.

Baked veggie part 1

Mixed Vegetables - I used one bag of frozen vegetables (beans, peas, carrots, corn)
Tomato - 1
Ginger - 1inch
Garlic - 1 clove
Salt - to taste
Chile powder - 1tbs
Olive oil - 1tbs

Pre-heat the oven at 450C.
Make a paste of tomato, ginger and garlic.
Put all vegetables in a baking dish.
Mix them with the paste, salt, chile powder and olive oil.
Cover the baking dish and put it inside the oven and reduce the temperature to 350C.
Cook for 30-45min.
switch off the oven but do not remove the baking dish.
Wait for 10-15 min.
It's ready to serve.

P.S. You can avoid making a paste. Chop them and mix with the veggies.
