- Add all the vegetables to a large pan and cover them with an aluminum foil.

Notes
Feel free to grill the vegetables instead of baking them.
Use a blender for a smoother texture and a chunks-free sauce
Add some sauce to soups and stews.
Measure and add vinegar or brown sugar for a sweeter, tangier taste.
Be creative with your twists, like adding fruits to the sauce.
