On Wednesday, Jess asked me a question that deserves it’s own post!
I’m sure most of you know this by now, but I LOVE roasted vegetables.
Roasting creates a pleasant, slightly sweet flavor that can’t be recreated by any other cooking method. This simple cooking method actually helps preserve nutrients and can really enhance the flavors of many vegetables.
Here is my method:
The Best Roasted Vegetables
1. Choose your vegetables (almost any hard, solid vegetable can be roasted). My favorites are squash, zucchini, brussel sprouts, asparagus, carrots, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
2. Wash the vegetables with cold water. If you have a vegetable brush, use it to remove any dirt.
3. Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces.
4. Preheat the oven to 400*.
5. Spread the vegetables on a baking tray lined with foil.
6. Spray or drizzle with olive oil.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss well.
8. Once the oven is preheated, slide the vegetables onto the middle rack.
9. Roast for approximately 10 minutes and stir the vegetables. After another 10 minutes have passed, stir the vegetables again. Roast for another 10 minutes.
10. Eat.
Roasted vegetables…

Definitely a yay! You make the best roasted veggies.
They’re such a good, simple side… I’ve made them quite a few times since you told me how. Awesome recipe.

Roast vegetables are only the best way to eat ‘em…and so easy–> stick ‘em in the oven and do your thing while they are getting crispy & delicious!

you know how I feel about this
Have you ever roasted frozen veggies? I’m curious if they work the same. I usually always keep tons of frozen veggies on hand and stir fry them but I love roasted veggies so much too. I’m usually just too impatient!
I actually roast frozen broccoli a few times a week! I use the same method but it takes a little bit longer. I hope this helps!

I give roasted veggies 2 thumbs up. I learned the hard way the importance of using foil on the pans. Cleaning off burned sweet potatoes is no picnic. I love to experiment with different seasonings too. I like to put a little brown sugar and chili powder on sweet potatoes.

I love me some delicious roasted vegetables but, like the original question, sometimes I don’t get the recipe quite right (as silly as that sounds). I appreciate the blog post. Everything tastes better roasted…

ROASTED VEGETABLES=YAY!!!!!! I love how their sweetness comes out more ans they become caramelized- especially carrots and onions. MAH GAWD.
But my favorite thing to roast, and I could probably down a whole sheet tray of it, is butternut squash. I cube it, toss it in just a smidge of pure maple syrup, salt and pepper, spread it out in an even kayer and roast until nice and tender. It’s like candy I tell you- CAAANDY!
Definitely a yay!! They are soo good I haven’t roasted in a while though!
Big yay for roasted vegetables! Especially squash and brussels sprouts.
