Hi Elena, microwaving won’t get the same caramelized flavor, and not everyone has a microwave. If you need to make that adjustment you certainly can.

Hi Mandi, yes you can use water instead of broth. You might find you need more salt. The red color comes from tomatoes, so it should still have color.

Hi Bev, I would need to test the bake time and would salt them and pat dry to draw out the moisture. It would require some testing for it to turn out right. If you do experiment with adding them, please share the results.

Hi Gogo, I would chop finely. I’m afraid the Vitamix would very quickly turn the vegetables into a puree.
