Roast your favorite vegetables with this simple recipe.
Roasted Vegetables
Ingredients
1 cup fresh vegetables per person (choose one vegetable or a mix of several – see list below)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 sprinkle each salt and black pepper
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Rinse or scrub fresh vegetables under running water before preparing.
- Peel if desired and cut into similar-size pieces. Smaller pieces (about ½ inch thickness) brown more and cook more quickly. Long thin pieces (asparagus or beans) can be left whole.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Prepare a baking sheet that will hold the vegetables in a single layer. A metal baking sheet without sides allows more browning. A covering of foil or parchment paper will make cleanup easy.
- Toss the vegetable pieces with just enough oil to make them shine.
- Spread the vegetables on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast until tender and slightly browned on the edges. Baking time will depend on the thickness of the pieces. Thin pieces (asparagus or beans) may take 5 minutes. Pieces about ½ inch thick take about 15 minutes.
- Stir or turn about halfway through the roasting for even browning.
- Move to a serving dish and sprinkle lightly with salt or seasoning of your choice.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- Try vegetables like: asparagus, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, onions, peppers, squash, sunchokes and more.
- Try different seasonings like: thyme, rosemary, oregano, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice.
