Oven roasted vegetables

Have you ever had a bunch of veggies you wanted to use up but didn’t know what to do with them? Yep, that was me a few weeks ago. I was tired of eating the vegetables the same way and also wanted a healthier option. And that is how this recipe was born. I think this one is a keeper! And any vegetable can be used…broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes would be amazing.

1/2 head cauliflower, cut into flowerettes
2-3 c Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in halves or quarters
2 carrots, cut into 1/4” rounds or strips
1/4 onion, cut into strips
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/4” slices
3 cloves garlic, rough chop
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
1/2 lemon

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Place all the cut up vegetables in a large bowl. Season with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat.
Place the veggies in a single row on a large rimmed cookie sheet and in the oven.

Stir after about 20 minutes. Allow to cook for another 20 minutes. Squeeze the lemon, careful not to squeeze out the seeds. Stir once more and cook for 5 more minutes.

This makes a great side dish for grilled chicken.
