Oven roasted Veggies


Just chopped
 
One of my all time favorite easy, healthy veggie sides is the classic oven roasted veggies. This one combines the best and the freshest ingredients, can have any variations of flavor that you want, based on what you feel like on the given day, tastes absolutely great while preserving the unique taste of each one of the vegetables and is great on the calories and fat. 
While you can have any veggies that you like, the ones that work for me are usually the follows:

Potato
Onions
Egg plant
Cauliflower
Tomato
Beans
Carrots
Squash of your choice / Zuchinnis
Corn
Green Peas
Peppers of your choice (Green, colored)


The  method is really really simple.
  1. Drizzle olive oil onto a baking tray
  2. Chop the veggies into proportionate bite size pieces, Spread evenly across the baking tray, so that all the veggies have an equal chance of getting cooked well.
  3. Drizzle some more olive oil on top
  4. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Optional (Add Herbs/Spices as you need - Rosemary / Thyme / Oregano are all great flavors to add).
  5. Preheat oven to 450F
  6. Place the baking tray in the middle rack and roast for 30 mins
Enjoy a healthy, high in nutrition, tasty vegetarian delight!


I like mine with lots of pepper
