Roasted Root Vegetables

I love roasted vegetables.  Roasting caramelizes the natural sugars that are in certain vegetables.  Roasting can also bring out a nutty quality in vegetables like broccoli and brussel sprouts.  I’ve roasted just about any and all vegetables  that I can get my hands on and I love them all!

IMG_1834Roasting vegetables is extremely simple.    Once you’ve roasted the vegetables of your choice you can eat them as a side, or keep them in your refrigerator to use in other tasty recipes though out the week.

IMG_1836A few quick prep steps and you’ll  be roasting your way to delicious.  I never make enough of these when I make them.  My kids pop them in their mouths like candy.

IMG_1847The number one way we enjoy roasted vegetables is as a side dish with fish or meat; add a salad and you have yourself an easy and delicious healthy meal!

Roasted Root Vegetables

2 Carrots
1 large Sweet Potato
4 Beets (small-medium in size)
6 Red Skinned Potatoes
2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Peel carrots, beets and sweet potato and cut into 1/2 inch chunks add to a large bowl. Wash red skinned potatoes and cut in to 1/2 inch chunks add to bowl with other vegetables. Toss with olive oil; add salt and pepper to your taste. Spread vegetables out on two baking sheets bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Options: Add any root vegetable that you love, turnips, and parsnips, would work great in this roast vegi party!

    Sheila, it looks like you have a special seasoned pepper in the photo. I’d love to know what you use. They look delicious!

      Good eye Karin! I usually use ground pepper, but used Lawrys seasoned pepper this time! Either tastes amazing 😉

    I love roasting veggies… the taste and the texture are relish. And it frees up some time to enjoy a glass of wine while dinner cooks! 🙂 PS ~ I’ve never used beets (they haven’t ever been my favorite) — you’ve convinced me to try them.

      Beets are one of my favorite vegetables, but I think I’m in the minority! Try them roasted and you might change your mind. 🙂 I just had a green eggs and ham moment there! HA! “Try them try them and you may try them and you may I say.”

    We have this a couple of times a week. Sometimes we add onions and garlic and finish with a drizzle of caramelized balsamic vinegar. To die for.

    I must say that I just started making roasted veg! It’s amazing! It’s Delightful! It’s Delicious! My Diabetic person can eat almost as much as they want! Instead of S/P, try it with a Cajun Seasoning mix!

      OOh that’s sound very luverly! The more spice the better. Do you have a favorite Cajun Seasoning blend you buy or do you make your own?

        I do have a favorite! I use Tony Chachere’s to which I was introduced by an amazing cook and friend. It’s delightful!
