Roasted Potatoes, Etc. (Dec. 27, 2009)

My favorite way to eat vegetables is roasted. It brings out the natural sweetness in them. Preheat oven to 450F. Gently wash vegetables and dry. For potatoes, you can just rub olive oil over the entire potato and sprinkle with salt, or chop into fries or cubes, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with Lawry’s Seasoned Salt. Bake for 45 minutes. If you like, sprinkle potatoes with cheese and bacon for the last 5 minutes. Serve with ketchup or sour cream.

I love red potatoes and sweet potatoes done this way. Other vegetables that work well include carrots (one of my all time favorites), onions, garlic, zucchini, summer squash and mushrooms.

This will be dinner tonight!
