Because it's the way we like them

If you were at our house last week, which you weren't, but if you were,
this is what you would have been served:

Roasted Brussel Sprouts on Sunday
Roasted Broccoli on Monday
Roasted Green Beans on Tuesday
Roasted Cauliflower on Wednesday
Roasted Brussel Sprouts on Thursday
Roasted Broccoli on Sunday (yes we did skip 2 days)

You get the idea.

At first I would use this winning recipe. Read the 1,556 reviews
and you'll see what I mean.

*Then it became just a quick toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss. Roast in 400' oven.









We love the little blackened tips. Roasting also brings out the sweetness of the vegetables.
Last year I was more into throwing all kinds of vegetables together for different combos.
But now I like a one vegetable specialty.

And no, in case you are wondering, vegetables are not all we have for dinner.













*I steam mine a little before roasting,
but only because I probably need them a bit softer than you do.

I add a couple cloves of chopped garlic to my roasted broccoli for an added kick! Sometimes even a dash or two of cayenne pepper, too.

I have never thought to try roasting my green beans! I will have give it a whirl. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks Heidi. Actually I often throw in garlic too. Sometimes also some red pepper pieces.

Richard cuts the brussel sprouts in half, steams them and then throws them in a frying pan with butter, salt and pepper! Very yummy!
