Easy Roasted Vegetables Recipe

I love to roast all kinds of vegetables. Here are some fruit and vegetables I picked up from the farmer's market.

The purple onions, purple potatoes, and yellow squash all taste delicious roasted. I cut the purple potatoes in half, sliced the squash, chopped the onion, added a sliced zucchini and some chopped garlic I picked up at the grocery store, and had a great side dish to go with grilled chicken fingers.

I have also roasted broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, red new potatoes and red, green, yellow, and orange bell peppers with great results.

To make Easy Roasted Vegetables for your Thanksgiving feast, select your favorite fresh vegetables.Think colorfully.Vegetables with deeper colors usually have more nutritional value than paler versions. Purple onions have more nutrients than white onions. Purple and red potatoes and deep orange sweet potatoes have more nutritional value than plain white potatoes. 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Brush a large rimmed cookie sheet with 4 T of olive oil.

While the oven is preheating, wash, slice and chop the vegetables you have selected. Zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, several colors of bell peppers, purple onions, and garlic make a delicious and pretty dish.

Arrange the prepared vegetables in a single layer on the cookie sheet.

Use a basting brush to spread 4 T of olive oil over the top of the layer of vegetables.

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices to taste.

Bake in the preheated oven until the vegetables are golden on top and starting to brown around the edges. This will take from 30-45 minutes depending on how thickly you have sliced the vegetables.

Use a slotted spoon or spatula to remove the vegetables from the pan to a serving platter.

Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top.

Serve warm.
