Roasted Fresh Veggies

Last week my sister and nephew came into town, so the Hubby and I took them to one of the many lakes up here, my mother-in-law was at the cabin, so we had a nice day surrounded by family.  As we were leaving my mother-in-law gave us a bag of fresh veggies which included carrots, two types of potatoes and green peppers.  So when making dinner the other night I knew I had to finish off the vegetables before the went bad so I roasted them in the oven with fresh herbs and olive oil, and can I say, they were great.  Now the recipe I am going to share with you is not very precise because when you have fresh vegetables they are not the same size as vegetables that you get from the store and for the amount of herbs its however you like and feel free to add or subtract herb depending on what you enjoy or don't enjoy.

Ingredients:

1 Green Pepper
2 Red Potatoes
2 Idaho Potatoes
3-5 Carrots, Peeled
1/8-1/4 C Olive Oil
1 tsp. Salt
1tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Onion Power
(I only used the powder because I did not have garlic cloves nor an onion in my kitchen at the time)
handful  mixture of Fresh Basil, Rosemary, and Parsley, chopped.

1.  Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Wash and chop all of the vegetable, I do the potatoes last.
3.  Mix in the salt, garlic and onion powder, and seasonings.  Stir well and place on a baking sheet and bake for 30-45 minutes, depending on how big you chop your veggies.

 

4.  If you like feel free to stir the veggies half way through the baking time, I don't because I like the crispy sides that come when you let it bake.

The texture and taste was perfection, I even liked having the powders used because it brought a little extra in, that I can not explain.  I urge you to mess around with the amounts and  types of seasoning that you use, possibly trying dehydrated onions or oregano.  If you are looking for a way to have fresh herbs of you own without having to buy them from the grocery store, I started planting my own because it is SOOOOOOOO much cheaper than buying them from the store.

Please make this as a side dish and ENJOY.
