It's winter. For us, that means things slow down a little - rich, hearty dinners with friends that last for hours, board games by the fire, the 10 minutes it takes to load on your winter gear and then the 10 to take off those layers and shake off the snow when you're home. It's the season for roasted things - turkeys and beef and potatoes and fish and veggies. Here's our favorite set-and-forget way to prepare roasted vegetables - an updated take on the classic, accentuated with our Buffalo Wing Sea Salt to bring out the best in your ingredients. Which by the way are mostly a suggestion - go ahead and replace any of these veggies with what you have on hand. This recipe is deliberately minimalist - all too often the naturally delicious flavors of roasted vegetables are overpowered by heavy sauces or too many seasonings - not the case here.
Ingredients:
- 3 Potatoes
- 4-5 Large carrots, or 20 or so small ones
- 2 Bell peppers
- 2 Tomatoes
- 1 Small to medium eggplant
- 1 Small to medium zucchini
- 1/4th Cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Pats butter
- 6 Tablespoons Buffalo Wing Sea Salt
- 10 Button mushrooms
Method:
- Peel potatoes and carrots, and rinse all vegetables.
- Preheat over to 475.
- Cut all veggies to roughly the same size (so they cook evenly), discarding bits like carrot tops, seeds from bell peppers, etc.
- In a large bowl, combine all prepped veggies, olive oil, and 5 Tablespoons Buffalo Wing Sea Salt. Mix thoroughly until all vegetables have an even coating.
- Spread evenly in a large roasting pan or tray, and arrange pats of butter on top.
- Roast for 40 minutes, giving it a stir at 20 minutes so that nothing gets too roasted.
- Remove and serve, sprinkling remaining Buffalo Wing Sea Salt on top.
- Bonus points: garnish with something green that you have on had for a beautiful color contrast - parsley or fresh thyme works particularly well.
