MAN MADE VEGETABLES RECIPES

Oven roasted vegetables are an easy and delicious way to get a heaping serving of roots and greens, all without breaking the bank, your diet, or your back. We follow the color rule when it comes to picking which vegetables will go on the roasting pan, since the more varied the colors, the more types of nutrients will be on your plate. The great thing about them is that they can be cooked next to your main protein source--like roasted chicken--and if there are any left-overs, packed for your lunch or ready-made for dinner.                                Our roasted vegetable recipe is hard to beat, boasting sweet potatoes, fingerling potatoes, carrots, and broccoli seasoned with herbs like fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper. If you prefer using seasonal or local produce, you can replace or add other root vegetables or roasting greens like parsnips, yellow squash, red bell peppers, red onion, green beans, or Brussels sprouts. You can also reduce your own balsamic vinegar to use as a dip.                 How long should you roast your vegetables?   While it is easy to roast veggies, it is crucial to keep a few things in mind. Roasting times vary for the types of ingredients you choose, so not only should you try and use ones that have the same densities, but you should also make sure to cut them into pieces that are close in size. If not, the smaller pieces will burn while the larger pieces will still be raw. When you lay them out on the pan, be careful of crowding the pan as that will cause them to steam, rather than roast. The vegetables should be a single layer thick, so you will need to use a second sheet pan if you have extra.   Using just the right amount of healthy fat, such as extra virgin olive oil, will help your vegetables heat evenly, give the edges a tasty crisp, and prevent them from turning too dry or greasy. If you over-did it with the fats, parchment paper can help soak up some of the extra greases. Lastly, make sure you put them in a preheated oven since if it's too low, it won't caramelize the natural sugars.                             With these cooking tips, your vegetables will be irresistible!
