Big on Volume

.

I love roasting whatever vegetables are available to make a meal seem bigger. This recipe is completely arbitrary-- you can use anything you like.

Oven Roasted Vegetables

(serves 4, but we sometimes make it 2 servings and cook a piece of lean meat or fish to go with it)

1 med zucchini, cut into bite-size pieces
1 med summer squash, cut into bite-size pieces
1 med red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
1 med yellow bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
1 lb fresh asparagus, cut into bite-size pieces
1 red onion, chopped
As many cherry tomatoes as you like
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the zucchini, squash, bell peppers, asparagus, onion and tomatoes in a large roasting pan, and toss with the oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread in a single layer.

Roast for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender.

Ann - I loved these! I paired them with a feta and brown butter pasta and it was so summery and so delicious. I love that you're doing this again. xox
