Light & Easy Roasted Veggies

Roasted Green Beans


Roasting vegetables are so so easy peasy, delicious, and healthy! I used to drizzle my veggies with olive oil before roasting, but tried something different the other day. I sprayed my veggies with +PamOrganic Olive Oil instead of drizzling with olive oil! By spraying with the Pam Organic Olive Oil made the veggies really really light!
To Roast Vegetables:
Preheat oven 450  (i know alot of recipes use lower temp, but I like oven high & hot for roasting)
Put your veggies of choice on a large cookie sheet.
Spray with Pam Organic Olive Oil, just to coatl
Sprinkle with a little kosher salt or sea salt
Put in oven.
Roast 10 min, remove from oven, with a pair of tongs toss veggies to turn them, spray on a little more Organic Olive Oil, and put back in oven for 10-15 more min. depending on your veggie.
Remove from oven, sprinkle on a little more salt. Now enjoy & be Healthy!

*Depending on the vegetables you use, you can squeeze on a little lemon juice. after roasting. Also, you can be creative and sprinkle on any of your favorite herbs along with your salt. I sprinkle on a little oregano & garlic powder on my roasted zucchini. And sprinkle on a little cayenne pepper to my sweet potatoes!

Roasted Kale
You can roast just about any fresh vegetable. Just take a stroll through your fresh produce section of your grocery store. That was the first time roasting green beans, they really turned out yummy. I ate them by themselves also added them to my salad. We all know how healthy kale is, just trim the stock off bottom & they're ready to roast! To roast zucchini or yellow squash, slice them lengthwise bout 1/4 in thick, & follow recipe above. Broccoli & cauliflower, cut them in med size flowerets, takes a little more roasting because of thickness! Sweet Potatoes, cut in wedges, they take a little more time! Asparagus is wonderful, just roast, sometimes squeeze on lemon juice.
These roasted veggies are good to munch on, use as side dishes, or put in your salads. Know you'll love these delicious light veggies too!
