Quick fixes are a fave of mine especially when all that is needed is prepping of the ingredients. I have been loving roasted vegetables and I try to make them at least twice a week. Perfect over fried eggs, pasta or just about anything really.When roasting vegetables work with fresh and firm vegetables to achieve the best results and always cut the different vegetables in equal sizes to ensure even cooking.
Remember to pre heat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius.In an oven proof dish, add all the cut up vegetables, the dried herbs, salt and black pepper.Drizzle over oil. Olive oil is best however if you are out like I was, vegetable oil will do.Toss everything until all the vegetables are coated.
Bake for 45 minutes.
Serve and enjoy.
