THE BEST ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES This is what I had for supper tonight . It's a favourite, so I thought I'd share my recipe with you. * Preheat your oven to 500F.......I know, it sounds too hot, but a lower temperature dries out the veggies.. * Assemble your veggies. Tonight, I used a med onion, a small yam, 2 med. parsnips, about 12 brussels sprouts and a whole head of garlic. * rinse and dry the veggies and peel them if you like......I don't peel the yams. The rule is the denser the veggie, the smaller the cube.....I cut the yam and parsnip in bullion-size pieces.......I separated the garlic into cloves, smashed them with the knife....you place your biggest chef knife side-down on top of the cloves arranged separately on the cutting board and then hit the knife-blade with the heel of your hand. The skins slip off and the clove lays down and behaves......I put them in whole. *Place all the cut veggies in a big bowl and pour a couple of tbsp. of olive oil on them, then salt to taste, I like a bigger crystal, like kosher salt, and grind some black pepper on top. Now get your hands in there and work those veggies until they are well coated. * Place the veggies on a shallow pan, like a cookie-sheet with a 1 inch edge. * The veggies should be only one layer and not touching.......each cube separate. Now put in the oven for about 15 minutes, test at 10 if not sure.....they burn quickly at this temperature......They should be slightly brown and tender/chewy. For me, this stands alone as a full meal....... |

I could sit down and enjoy that meal with you! Sounds yummy. Fresh fruit for desert? Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I think it is also how a person's body handles the garlic. My late husband would have horrible garlic breath after eating just about anything with garlic, like garlic bread or even spaghetti sauce. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

So what about the mushrooms? Button, cut in half? Added later, or can they too handle 10 min at the high heat?
