Roast Vegetables

Naturally Gluten-Free Meals
ROAST VEGETABLES
 
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400-450F
Rimmed baking sheet, lined with parchment paper
 
Choose the vegetables and wash, peel or don’t peel, but cut everything into the same size, usually about 1-inch pieces.
 
Spread evenly on the pan and do not overcrowd. Season everything with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil. Toss everything gently to coat evenly.
 
Get creative, for more flavors try adding garlic, curry powder, fresh/dried herbs, vinegars, citrus, sesame oil, bacon, taco seasoning, mustard, pesto, etc. Keep in mind things like honey and cheese need to be added closer to the end so that they don’t burn.
 
Don’t forget to toss halfway. The edges of the baking sheet cook hotter than the center, and the bottoms need to be flipped up to brown evenly.
 
How Long to Roast
