Get Your Roasted Veggies!

Beta Carotene Monster!

Roasting veggies might be one of the simplest and tastiest ways to change things up or throw together a dinner when a trip to the grocery store is due (hence the carrot and butternut squash combo)! You can put them on a bed of greens with beans or meat, eat them as a side, purée them with some beans for a dip, and the list goes on. Your reaction to the finished product almost every time: FABBBB!

Generally speaking, all you have to do is:

Preheat oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit.
Slice your veggies as uniformly as possible (dry them with a paper towel if they are wet).
Toss veggies in a bowl with extra virgin olive oil (just enough to coat), sea salt, pepper and any other spices or fresh herbs you’re in the mood for. Don’t be shy, go crazy!
Spread veggies on a pan so they aren’t touching.
Bake for 25-45 minutes depending on oven, veggies and thickness.
Feel like a million bucks because you just prevented those veggies from going to waste and threw together a healthy and delicious homemade meal in the midst of the gazillion other things you have on your plate (ba-dum-chssh)!
