Roasted vegetables are easy to throw in the oven on your day off, maybe while you vacuum or read a good book. These veggies are very versatile—toss them with pasta, top a pizza, stir into soup, stuff a sandwich or wrap, or toss with vinaigrette for a salad.

 Ingredients

  • 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 large red pepper
  • 1 large green pepper
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium sweet potato (or 1 lb green beans or 8 oz mushrooms)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Coarse salt

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Cut all the vegetables into 3/4 inch wide pieces and put in a large roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Cover the pan with foil and roast for 20 minutes, then uncover and roast for 20-30 minutes more, until the sweet potato chunks are tender when pierced with a paring knife. The veggies should be soft and sweet.
  2. Cool on a rack, then divide them into servings to keep in the fridge for a week or the freezer for about 3 months.
  3. Serve hot or at room temperature or toss with pasta, top a pizza, stir into soup, stuff a sandwich or wrap, or toss with vinaigrette for a salad.
