Healthy & Tasty Baked Vegetables

I am proud to say we make some tasty baked vegetables that all our friends and family love. This is a recipe slightly tweaked from Demarle at Home. It's easy, tasty and good for you so I thought I would share.

Most evenings we look at what veggies we have in the refrigerator and throw them in a bowl. Often enough we use the same combination of vegetables in the recipe. If you have other vegetables that are your families favorites feel free to switch the combination up!




Things you will want or need:
  • Silpat & pan (You can buy one at Demarle at Home. They are great products so your vegetables don't stick to your pan and it makes for an easy clean up! It is also great for backing and more)
  • Large bowl and spatula 
Ingredients: 
  • 2 small zucchini's or 1 1/2 large zucchini's
  • 2 bunches of broccoli
  • 1/2 of a white onion
  • 1/2 of a sweet potato (you can substitute other potatoes if your like)
  • 2 carrots
  • 1/3 cup of fresh parmigiano-reggiano cheese 
  • about 2-4 TB of olive oil
  • 3-4 tsp of Herbs to Province Seasoning (You can also buy this through Demarle at Home or we get ours at Fry's)
  • Few turns of fresh pepper


Directions:

Set your oven at 425 degree's.

Cut your sweet potato in small 1/2 inch cubs so when they bake they get cooked well. Slice your carrots in half or fourths depending on the thickness. We sometimes use our food processor to make the perfect slice. Your zucchini should be about 1/4 slices, the broccoli you will want to trim a lot of the ends off and cut the heads to medium bit sizes.

Next your onion (make sure to breathe through your nose ONLY! Then you wont cry while cutting it!) cut  it like an apple. Cutting it in half then cut the halves in half and maybe even another cut depending on the size of your onion. You will have 1/2 inch wide slices. We always take the first two layers out of the onion and then separate the rest and throw them in the bowl. (If you are not fond of onions put in only half)



Now all your vegetables are cut and they should be in a large bowl. You will then add your olive oil, drizzling it over the vegetables. Then put the Herbs to Province in your hand and use your fingers and pinch the seasoning between your two fingers to break the herb up. Next add you couple twists of seas salt and pepper. Toss it in the bowl with your spatula and then lay it out on your Silpat. Next sprinkle with fresh parmigiano-reggiano cheese.





Put them in the oven for 18 minutes.

Then be prepared to taste some delicious veggies!
