Info about roasting all kinds of vegetables, including some you might not have thought of (I hadn't, anyway). Roasted veggies are such a good fall and winter side dish. What are some of your favorites?

1. Baby carrots, yellow summer squash and sweet peppers

tossed with olive oil, sea salt and cracked pepper.

2. Broccoli & cauliflower w/olive oil, garlic, grated Asiago, dash of Sriracha, salt and pepper

Roasted at 425 for 18 minutes. So reliably good.

6. Root vegetable pie!

Cubes of turnip, carrot, parsnip (if you've never had it, it's like carrots turned up to 11), onions, potatoes in a whole wheat crust, with a white sauce that I'll sometimes add curry powder to. It's essentially a pot pie.

Otherwise, I just put the vegetables on a sheet pan, toss them with some olive oil, and roast until their tender, then let them cool a bit and toss with balsamic vinegar. Any kind of root vegetable will work, but be careful if you're using red beets - they'll bleed all over everything.

I've also done oven-roasted "sweet potato fries". And once you've had roasted brussels sprouts you'll never boil them again.

7. sweet potatoes are a favorite

This is my weird low fat sweet potato dish. I try to roast veggies when something else is baking in the oven, such as meatloaf or pork chops.

Peel raw sweet potatoes, slice in rounds, no chunks. Spray shallow baking dish with Pam. Lay sweet potato slices in dish, one or two slices deep. Cover with foil and let bake until almost done, remove foil, sprinkle a little brown and cinnamon on the sweet potato slices. let bake 5 or 10 minutes more. I like to keep the baking time short after putting on the brown sugar and cinnamon so the brown sugar still has a girt, not melty.

Speaking of pork chops. Bake thin cut pork chops and corn, Spray shallow baking dish with Pam, lay pork chops in dish, cover with one thin sliced onion, fresh corn cut off two cobs. Sprinkle with season salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Cover with foil, let bake until pork chops are almost done (45 to 60 mins at 350), remove foil and let brown on top. The corn and onion provide sufficient moisture for the pork chops so they aren't dry.

I have some metal half pans, I use them mostly for cookie bars and brownies. I like to use the shallow white porcelain baking dishes for meat and veggies. I can take the dish right to the table and it always looks gook in those white dishes.
