Roasted Veggies

One of my favorite things to make as a side dish are Roasted Veggies, they are easy, versatile and full of flavor.

The recipe is as follows:

Roasted Veggies

In a large bowl add 1 1/2 c. olive oil, 3 T. Italian Seasonings, 2 T. Paprika, 2 T. Garlic Powder, 1 T. Black Pepper, 1 T. Salt, 1 T. Onion Powder, mix together well and add any combination of the following vegetables:

 Zucchini (diced)
 Sweet Onion or Purple Onion (diced)
 1 Pint Cherry or Grape Tomatoes
 Potatoes (any kind will work)
 Yellow Squash (diced)
 Red, Yellow, Orange or Green Peppers (diced)

Add enough vegetables to the olive oil mixture and coat well. Place on large jelly roll pan covered with parchment paper, bake in a 350 degree oven until vegetables are fork tender, about 35 minutes.

Uses for Roasted Veggies:

Add to any salad for a fresh new flavor
Puree in food processor and enjoy on top of fresh grilled bread slices topped with Feta
Place leftover veggies in tomato soup for an extra something
Use with grilled beef or chicken and serve as fajitas

As you can see your options are limitless. Enjoy trying this recipe.
