Roasting veggies is my favorite way to cook them. Is it your favorite way as well? They stay so crispy and the flavors are so nice! A simple olive oil, salt and pepper is all that’s needed to make them yummy. And it made for a beautifully colorful dish.
Hmmmm orange, white and green. I’ll remember that for St. Patrick’s Day.
I served these on Christmas Eve along with this Pot Roast and mashed potatoes and they were perfect. I had intended on making only carrots but there were no purple ones to be found at the store that day so i picked up some parsnips instead. I already had the green beans at home.
