Rainbow Vegetables

I will often roast several pans of vegetables in the oven for mid week meal prep, then use them during the week in lunches, as a side for dinner, in quesadillas, omelets, pasta, or puree and add to leftover rice to make veggie burgers. Any combination will do, but I like to aim for color to get the most anti inflammatory properties and eye appeal on the plate, plus varying textures.

Ingredients

You will need:

  • 12 cups cut vegetables such as red yellow, and orange peppers, red onion, carrots, fennel, broccoli, cauliflower, yellow squash, grape tomatoes, purple sweet potatoes, eggplant, shitake mushrooms, asparagus, butternut squash
  • Good quality spray oil - such as a Misto If you don't have a Misto or way to spray oil, use a pastry brush
  • Fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees roast, convection setting
  2. Assemble cut veggies on parchment lined baking pans, keeping veggies separate from each other
  3. Roast until veggies are done to your liking - this will depend on vegetable type and your preference
  4. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with sea salt before serving

Recipe Notes

You can buy precut veggies in the supermarket if you do not want to take the time to cut the veggies yourself. Keeping veggies separate on the pan will allow you to remove any that cook more quickly. For example, if you use purple sweet potatoes and asparagus, the asparagus will be done first, and can be removed from the pan, and the sweet potatoes can be returned to the oven. Harder vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, and fennel can be sliced thinly for more even cooking time. Do not add salt until vegetables have been removed from the oven. This will give better browning of the veggies. Do add salt when veggies are still warm, so the salt will stick. If you do not have a convection setting on your oven, they will take longer. Parchment lined sheet pans lined will make for easy clean up
