Getting our families to eat more vegetables can be tough! Food companies certainly aren’t helping us out. Between making misleading health claims on junk food and mucking up frozen vegetables with lots of additives it can be difficult to find a delicious, quick option. But alas, please don’t give up!
If you haven’t tried roasting vegetables it really is an awesome choice. Not only does it bring out the wonderfully sweet and savory flavors in veggies, roasting is also SO EASY! And while these veggies are amazing right out of the oven, they also make super leftovers and can be eaten cold anytime of day. So please, give this recipe a try, and let me know what you think. I hope you and your family will find it so delicious that it becomes one of your favorites!
Cheers!

Kitchen Resources:
- While you don’t really need any special equipment to make roasted veggies, I absolutely love making them in my Lodge seasoned carbon steel pans. Lighter than cast-iron these wonderful pans come in all different sizes, and they are my favorites for all types of cooking! You can buy them at Amazon, Williams-Sonoma, and lots of other retailers!
