Roasted Winter Vegetables
Roasting vegetables might be one the easiest ways to make a delicious side (or main!) dish that bursts with intense, deep flavors.
The crisp snap of raw vegetables magically transforms into tender crunchiness, with a delectable hint of sweetness from the caramelized crust that forms in the oven.
The best part of roasted vegetables is that you can eat them hot, lukewarm, or cold and they’re still delicious.
And you can eat them any way you want — tossed on a bed of greens, as a side to your favorite protein, or in a bowl with hearty grains.
The possibilities are endless!
