The best vegetables evaaaaar!
Now, I have always been one to really enjoy my vegetables but weekly meal prepping has caused me to feel a little burned out when it comes to the healthies. I mean come on, there is only so much steamed broccoli someone can eat if you know what I'm sayin. So lately I have been trying to mix it up and I came accross my favorite of the week on Pinterest!
Oven roasted herb vegetables!
This recipe is INCREDIBLY easy and yeilds A LOT. So you make this and it will be enough for the week and then some.
What you'll need:
1 bundle of asparagus
2 medium yellow squash
1 zucchini
1 small bag of baby carrots
1 package of cherry tomatoes
1 small bag of baby red potatoes or I use fingerling potatoes since they were easier to find
Extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Rosemary
2 1/2 tablespoons Basil
Sea Salt (I like the fine grinded one)
Pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons Garlic Powder
2 large mixing bowls
2 glass baking dishes
aluminum foil
Now mix and pop it in the oven!
While you're getting your mix on, pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees
Cut squash and potatoes into chunks, I like to slice the squash first and then cut those peices in half again so they are nice and bite sized. The potatoes are already skinny so I just cut them in half. For the asparagus you'll need to cut the hard bottoms off (about 2 inches up from the bottom) and then snap them in half. Cherry tomatoes and baby carrots can be left whole.
Then you'll want to get 2 large bowls and start putting all of the veggies in.
Sprinkle your olive oil all around the top of them. I estimate this will end up being about 1/4 cup in each bowl, but you can just eye it. All the veggies need to be good and coated.
Add all of the seasonings on top. And don't be shy - everyone has their own opinion on seasonings but I really liked mine nice and covered so it is not bland.
Place your vegetables into a deep baking dish. I normally use two since this ends up making A LOT. Cover the dishes with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Then, take off the foil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes. If you like your vegetables more firm, then lessen the covered cooking time.
Baddabing baddaboom you're done! Enjoy!
This recipe is a big hit so make sure to save the directions. I know I was emailing it out to all of my co workers since they were smelling it in the break room. :)
