Roasted Veggies

How can you make almost any vegetable sweeter and more delicious?  Through the magic of oven roasting!!  There is nothing easier.  I put these quartered sweet potatoes and broccoli on time bake and had hot, fresh sides walking in the door last night.  Broil some salmon and in 10 minutes, you have a fabulous meal.  All you do is wash and cut your vegetables into desired sizes.  I line the baking pan with aluminum foil to make cleanup a snap.   Drizzle on olive oil (butter or coconut oil work great, too), sprinkle with sea salt and Voila!  You can do this process with almost any vegetable, varying the cooking times.  For potatoes and starchy or very firm veggies, roast at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour.  For squash and zucchini shorten the cooking time to 30 minutes or so.  The broccoli gets a little dark in places but we ♥ it that way.   Try Brussels sprouts!  We love ’em!
