Roasted Seasonal Vegetables

It’s Autumn and everyone turns to comfort foods like soups and stews.  Just don’t forget the veggies!  The one thing I like to make in the fall is Roasted Seasonal Vegetables.  It’s so easy make and a perfect side dish to any meal.  I typically use root vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onions and beets.  I also like to add butternut squash.  Butternut Squash is not a root vegetable, but I always add it as I love the taste when it is oven roasted.  The only thing is that it tends to break down a little more than the other vegetables, as you can see in the photo above.  Basically, you can use any vegetables you like.  The store was out of beets so I wasn’t able to include them this time.

For the potatoes, I typically use a medley/variety of small, petite potatoes.  I don’t cut these.  The rest of the vegetables are peeled as appropriate and cut into a large dice.  I did buy frozen butternut squash which were already cut into cubes.

During the fall, I just use regular seasoning, parsley, salt, pepper and granulated garlic or garlic powder.  I like a little heat, so I also add a pinch of cayenne pepper, but that is optional.  For the fall, you could also add a little maple syrup and/or cinnamon if  you like.  If you are eating this with an Italian meal, you can use Italian seasonings.  Greek, add some freshly squeezed lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, and Greek oregano in addition to the seasonings listed in the recipe.

The hardest part is to prepare your vegetables as directed.

Once they are prepped, just mix them with olive oil, minced garlic and the seasonings.  I don’t even use a separate bowl anymore.  I just mix them in the roasting pan.  Bake for 50-60 minutes or until they are golden brown.  That’s it.  So easy.
