Roasted veggies can taste like candy! Ok maybe not candy but a close second 😉 Roasting brings out the veggies natural sugars and helps caramelize them and give delicious flavor.
For perfect roasted veggies:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray
- Cut the veggies in the same size
- Toss veggies with a little herb oil and garlic salt and lay out on a pan.
- Roast about 30 minutes-this will vary depending on the veggie, check them every 15 minutes a little browning-caramelization is good=flavor!
Veggies can be prepped ahead and roasted before dinner. They don’t have to be served “hot hot” warm is good.
Sauces served with veggies make a great pairing. We all know cheddar cheese over broccoli but how about seasoned tomato sauce with roasted cauliflower or a basil pesto drizzled over roasted peppers.
Popular roasted veggies:
- Cauliflower (like popcorn)
- Carrots (toss with honey)
- Asparagus
- Peppers
- Broccoli (if your into that kind of veg good for you, I avoid it at all costs)
