Simple Steps for Roasting Vegetables

Move over microwave vegetables! Roasting vegetables is simple and foolproof. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness and the hot oven temperature helps caramelize each crispy bite. Root vegetables such as sweet potatoes, carrots and beets are usually the most common vegetable to roast, but don’t stop there! Broccoli, cauliflower, winter squash, asparagus, peppers, etc. can be roasted too. Experiment with different oils, herbs and spices to boost flavor.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Cut vegetables into bite size chunks
3. Place vegetables on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and/or fresh herbs and spices. Toss to evenly coat.
4. Roast for 20-25 minuets turning vegetables half way through. Root vegetables may take longer. Non root vegetables may take less time.
