Roasted Vegetables

Cooks' Note

If you let these vegetables come to room temperature, make a vinaigrette of 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and 1 tablespoon water. Mix it well and pour it over the roasted vegetables, and you’ll have a dish so delicious it will make portion control a difficult task.

Ingredients

1 rutabaga, quartered
2 turnips, halved
1 potato, quartered
3 medium carrots, peeled and halved

10 asparagus, tough ends snapped off and discarded
6 broccoli florets

Seasoning

3 packets dried onion soup mix
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon seasoning salt, such as Lawry’s
1/2 teaspoon fresh/ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Grease a large, shallow baking pan.

    Rub the seasoning over the eggplant, zucchini, squash, asparagus, broccoli, and boiled vegetables, coating completely, and place in the pan. Layer the onion disks on top.
