Yet Another EXCELLENT Way to Eat Those Vegetables!

This is a very good recipe for cooking just about any vegetable to perfection. It gets boring always steaming or pan frying veggies, so I love to roast them in the oven! This brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetable, and always its flavor to truly shine. This method of cooking veggies comes in a close second, possibly tied for first, with my other recipe using almond meal/flour. To roast veggies, it's pretty simple, and that's part of what I love about it...
(Before you start, preheat the oven to 400 degrees)
1. Pick out your favorite Veggies
2. Wash them thoroughly
3. Dry them thoroughly
4. Place them on a cookie sheet
5. Drizzle a Tbls. or two of olive oil over them (or an oil of your choice, but I prefer olive oil)
6. Add Salt and Pepper to your liking (I prefer a fair amount)
7. (optional) Peel some lemon zest over top of veggies (this is the outer layer of the lemon only)
8. Use your hands and mix the veggies and oil thoroughly
9. Make sure the veggies are in a single row on the cookie sheet, they will bake better
10. Place them in the oven and wait about five minutes before you turn them....another five to ten minutes and they will be done. You can decide how "roasted" you want them...they are supposed to shrivel, and the longer they are in the oven, the more they will shrivel.
11. ENJOY :)
