Recipe Corner: Oven Roasted Veggies!!

This is a HUGE family favorite 
around this house!

We have discovered that this is a wonderful
way to cook and serve
veggies 
and 
ALL the kids LOVE them!

We have used this method for all
sorts of veggies:
brussel sprouts
asparagus
broccoli & cauliflower mix
green beans


Our two favorites are 
the broccoli & cauliflower mix
and 
the green beans.

Enjoy!
Let me know what you think!!


Oven Roasted Green Beans

The players:
(salt, pepper, olive oil & thyme leaves)

(2-12 oz pkgs of WHOLE green beans)

Preheat oven to 425°.
Dump *whole* green beans out onto foil lines cookie sheet.

Sprinkle with olive oil
then toss.
Then spread beans out into a SINGLE layer
on cookie sheet.
Liberally sprinkle with salt, pepper & dried thyme.


(my family goes through 2-12 oz packages a meal!)


Bake for about 10 minutes
then toss
and bake another 10 minutes.


And this is what you get!


Sometimes I will mix it up and add
slivered onion
or mushrooms!



Oven Roasted Broccoli & Cauliflower

1 pkg frozen Baby Broccoli
1 pkg frozen Cauliflower Florets
4 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
1 tbsp Dried Thyme

- Preheat oven to 425°
- Spread frozen veggies out on foil lined cookie sheet
in one even layer
- Drizzle with olive oil (approx 4 tbsp)


- Mix with hands to coat veggies
- Sprinkle liberally with salt & pepper
- top with approx 1 tbsp dried thyme


- Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes
- Stir halfway through


Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese if desired!

*Tip:  Follow your nose!  Your nose will tell you when 
they are getting done and when they need to be tossed.

  1. We have done this with fresh but not with frozen. I'll have to try it is frozen is definitely better for winter! I often use garlic too and my husband really likes kosher salt. Yum!
