Lately, I’ve been craving fresh vegetables. Like these roasted vegetables or those that I piled onto my Greek Salad I talked about yesterday.
And when I say craving, I mean craving!
I stopped by the grocery store today to pick up a few things to make supper for my sister-in-law, Cindy, and her family since she’s not been feeling well lately. We’d been talking about roasted vegetables last week when we were all on Spring Break together, and I knew these were something that she loved, too.
Maybe that’s what planted the seed in my mind.
Cindy told me how our friend Linda cuts up all of her vegetables, coats them in a delicious blend of olive oil, salt, pepper, and different spices and then lets them marinate overnight in a zip top bag before roasting them. They are scrumptious that way, but when you are feeling under the weather, spices aren’t really at the top of the list of things you want to eat. At least not for me, that is.
So, I went with the simplest form of these roasted vegetables you can muster. It’s the version that my son gobbled up when he was two and still to this day loves when I serve them.
Here’s how I make these roasted vegetables. The possibilities are endless.

So about how long would you roast them in the oven I didn’t see a time?
Pinned it to try! Thanks!
Another great idea. Loved these and served them to my guests, and there were no vegetables left over by the end of the meal.
The best way to experience vegetables roasted has got to be my favorite. That is an excellent tutorial for those who are used to eating boiled, over-cooked and mushy veggies. So yummy!
