1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil and chili powder on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables are roasting, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble each taco by layering roasted vegetables and a generous handful of shungiku microgreens.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zing.
Microgreens are young edible plants harvested shortly after germination. Published research reports that nutrient and phytochemical concentrations vary substantially by species, seed source, growing conditions, harvest stage, and storage, so crop-specific health claims should be interpreted cautiously.
• Microgreens have been studied as sources of vitamins, carotenoids, minerals, and other bioactive plant compounds.
moderate evidence• Nutrient composition cannot be assumed to be identical across microgreen varieties or production systems.
strong evidence• ChefPax presents this crop primarily for culinary flavor, texture, freshness, and menu variety rather than as a treatment or medical product.
