Roasted Veggies

I have mentioned roasted veggies a few times here and we're having them tonight, so I thought I'd take a picture and post it. This is before cooking.



This one has cauliflower, carrots, Brussels sprouts, red onion, mushrooms, grape tomatoes, with olive oil, black pepper, chipotle powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and oregano. I bake it at 380 for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes and adding goat cheese for the last 20 minutes.

Variations: Add Parmesan cheese or crisped bacon for the last 20 minutes.

Looks delicious.

I'm pretty sure you meant that.

Indeed. Having extra bacon on hand also means some for the doggies when the occasional food-gitive falls to the floor.

Accidentally of course.

That looks delicious!!!!

I love roasted veggies. I always mix it up with whatever I have in the fridge. My son who is almost 2 and a half LOVES veggies! I am so proud of his food palate! He prefers veggies and fruit over any kind of "junk" food. If you give him a cookie he gives it back and asks for carrots or grapes. His daycare said they love when I bring him food for lunch because it always smells good and looks good, they say he has the best food there. Well I would think so! LOL My child will eat anything and I love it. He likes to help when I'm in the kitchen and cut up veggies, with my help and supervision of course. He is so good and knows what not to touch and will tell you! I can't wait til he is older, cooking will be so much more fun with him!


I will have to save this recipe. My boyfriend would love it!

Yep, looks really nice that. And simple...which suits me.

While preparing these veggies, Jaia had a carrot, a Brussels sprout, a chunk of cauli and a tomato! He LOVES veggies!

That's so cool about your son! Maybe he's going to be a chef!

I am still trying to remember to make your "roasted cabbage steak" recipe! Now I have 2 of your delights to make!

Whenever I am doing prep I often give our two dogs carrots, sweet peppers, fruit and other veggies.

My sister-in-law who is a vet (not the Vietnam kind) told me it is cool as long as it is not too much.

My sister makes 'mother's day stew' every year. She roasts vegetables, including potatoes, carrots, anise, onions and parsnips with sweet and hot italian sausage covered in a roaster with water. The result is a stew, and it is really tasty.

I forgot... there's cabbage in it too.

Looks so fresh!

Oh! That sounds great! I wonder how long it cooks...

Wow, same recipe, just wrap in foil and throw it on the bbq grill....

The nicest, tastiest roast vegetable is beetroot, no doubt

Comes out nice and sweet

According to my granddaughter, I don't do pig.

Looks nummies BH, and I love the idea of tossing in some goat's cheese near the end, that's something I never would have thought of doing !

Thanks for sharing the awesome idea... I'm thinking a nice salty feta cheese would be awesome too (for those of us who are feta-holics).

Where's the After picture?

I'm not fond of roasted vegetables because they tend to char, and charcoal is carcenogenic. If there's a way to avoid that, I'd love to hear about it.

There was an absurd article I read somewhere, alleging that dogs dig to uproot tubers and such.

Vegan website, no doubt.
