2.On a baking sheet, toss the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli florets, snap peas, julienned carrot, and sliced red onion with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

3.While the vegetables are roasting, cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
