As I get older my food bucket list includes healthy foods too. I have discovered there are better and tastier veggies out there besides canned green beans and corn. Roasted Veggies especially have caught the attention of my taste buds! So here are a few of my bucket list veggies....
The girl and I decided to roast a variety together. We have tried asparagus, but not the others . We sliced, tossed with oil, and salt/pepper to taste the veggies and roasted them at 400 for 20 min or so.
ASPARAGUS
This stuff is so amazing, roasted, fried, grilled, cold, hot. Roasted is my favorite.
White onion. This is what I had on hand when we made this. It actually tasted a little sweet after roasting. I think any type of onion would do.
yellow squash, summer squash
YUM. Oh squash where have you been all my life. I have never cared for cooked squash, but roasted is fabulous! And the girl loved it!
Tomatillos
This popular Mexican fruit is normally used in salsas or in Mexican dishes. I wanted to try it roasted. FAIL. Ick, it didn't turn out well at all. I like to make my own salsa so next time I am going to throw some of these bad boys in and see how it turns out.
Here is our after picture. We really enjoyed snacking on these and they tasted even better the next day. For those of you who know me (potato chip snack food unhealthy eating girl) these gotta be good for me to be scarfing them down!
