Yield: dependent on amount of vegetables used
Roasted veggies add flavor & nutrition to pizza, sandwiches, pasta & more.
Cooking times for roasted vegetables:
Lighter density vegetables have the fastest cooking times.
• Tomatoes
• Summer squash
• Eggplant
These vegetables can take as little as 20 minutes to roast at 350-375 degrees F. To bake them along with higher density vegetables heat oven to 400 degrees F and simply cut the lighter density vegetables into larger, thicker pieces and they will handle the higher temperature and longer cooking time just fine.
Medium-density vegetables take a bit longer to cook.
• Onions
• Peppers
• Celery
• Winter squash
Higher density vegetables have the longest cooking times.
• Potatoes
• Carrots
• Beets
• Pumpkins
• Parsnips
Medium- and high-density vegetables tend to roast better at 400 degrees F and can take up to 60 minutes to cook.
Note:
Cut vegetables into evenly sized pieces and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired. Roast in oven (according to directions above) until tender; can be pierced easily with a fork.
Roasting a combination of potatoes, onions, carrots and beets is a wonderful winter medley!
