Veg Table: Roasted Vegggies

Roasting is one of my favorite ways to cook veggies. It is a perfect side dish to many types of meals and they are so tasty – and easy!

Roasted Veg

You Need:

• Broccoli is our veg of the week, so gotta have that
• Other good veggies: cauliflower, tomatoes, squash, peppers, etc
• If you use potatoes or carrots be sure to cut them small, because they usually take longer to cook than other veggies do.
• Olive Oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic Powder
• Basil or Italian Seasoning (You can use a different flavor of spice, but this is my fav!)

What you do:

• Wash and cut your choice of vegetables into roughly the same size (potatoes and carrots need to be cut smaller).
• Place on a cooking sheet and drizzle with olive oil to coat.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I promise you do not need to measure this – do it by sight and feel. Here’s what it will look like…

• Then, sprinkle on your basil or other spice(s). Here’s what it looks like again, if you are uncomfortable without measuring, pay special attention to the ratio of spice to veg.

• Mix it all up and put them in a nice, hot oven. I usually do it anywhere between 400° and 450°. Keep an eye on them, depending on how small you cut them  and what veg you choose they can take anywhere from 15-30 minutes to cook. When they are done, they will be soft and look like this…

That’s it – yummy!
