Roasted Veggies

My husband "doesn't like" veggies, but I found if I cook them right he'll eat them right up. I discovered some posts on food blogs about roasting veggies and after a few tries have a pretty good formula for it. I'll post a list of the things I use most often, but you can sub almost any veggie in the list with something else. Also, thick veggies (carrots, etc) might need a good parboil before being added.

2 c. broccoli.
2 c. cauliflower
1 c. zucchini, cut into 1/4 in. coins
2 c. carrots, cut into 1 in. pieces
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed (see below)
2 c. brussel sprouts
2 tbsp EVOO
salt and pepper to taste

In a large bowl, mix the EVOO, salt, pepper and veggies.

Mix to coat.

Roast, uncovered, at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Toss and roast another five minutes.

Be amazed at how much people love your veggies!

Now I would LOVE this. My hubby, no way. Cooked veggies, no matter the method, are not part of his diet.

I take that back, do french fries count?? ;)
