When I first started cooking, I experimented with roasting veggies and quickly became hooked. I like making a huge batch for dinner and then using the leftovers all week putting some in packed lunches, pasta dishes, or scrambled eggs.
Lately, I’ve been making this colorful combo of veggies I found on My Recipes. The original recipe calls for eggplant which I don’t add but I’m sure it would be great. When roasting, I have found not skimping on the oil is key. Also, I try to cut veggies somewhat uniformly so they cook evenly. Happy Friday!
