Veggie Bake

I love vegetables. I love to find new ways of preparing them. This is one of my favorites. I cut up the vegetables in large chunks and usually end up changing pans at least once, to a larger one.

Veggie Bake
A hearty flavorful dish that is perfect for a winter day, served with meat, fish or chicken and biscuits. Everything can bake in the oven at once.

Ingredients:
1 – 2 lbs. green and red peppers
1 lb. potatoes and/or yams, peeled
1 large onion, peeled
3 large carrots, peeled
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Italian herbs

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Trim and clean peppers, cut into 1 ½ inch vertical slices. Cut potatoes into thick chunks. Cut onions into thick vertical slices. Cut peeled carrots into thick slices.

Place vegetables and garlic in large roasting pan, such as used to roast a turkey. Add oil and seasonings, toss to combine thoroughly. Bake, uncovered, turning occasionally, 30 -45 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are tender. Serves 6 – 8.

  3. This looks fab! I manage a variation - throw all left over veges in the oven, doused in olive oil. When roasted stir into pasta with red pesto, top with cheese. Even I can cook that!

  7. I make a balsamic veggie bake quite similar to this. It is excellent and a way to get those who dislike vegetables to eat them.

  12. It sounds really good, and I'm glad you included the onion, because I like onions (though that's also why I carry mints with me). I should eat more vegetables, especially because it'll help make up for the chocolate I've eaten.
