Ingredients

  • 6 carrots, cleaned and peeled (figure one per person, they are so sweet when roasted)
  • 6 red potatoes, washed and quartered
  • EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Sprinkle of Salt-free Mural of Flavor (or try a Mrs. Dash product)

Line a large jelly roll pan with non-stick aluminum foil (or simply spray a non-stick spray on the pan). Toss the vegetables with EVOO and then lay out on the jelly roll pan. Sprinkle with a little salt and herbs.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Bake roasted vegetables for 30 minutes. Test for doneness; if sharp knife slides through potato, they’re done. Serve and enjoy!

  • Lea,
    Roasted vegetables are my new favorite thing to make. They're easy, and really, really good. Yes, roasted vegetables would go really well with grilled chicken!
