LOVE the Fall Vegetables!

It seems to me that most people start their meal plan with the meat or protein and build around that.  Here's a side dish that goes with everything!  It will add color, flavor, texture and it's very easy to make.  You might make this every night because you don't need a recipe or a shopping list!

Heat up your oven to 400 degrees.  Line a rimmed baking pan with foil for easy clean up.

Cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, zucchini, red onion and beets.

I keep fresh vegetables on hand for this, but it can vary.  Here is a list of some vegetables that store well and are great roasted.
Potatoes, including yams and sweet potatoes
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Carrots
Onions, all colors
Turnips
Mushrooms
Peppers, all kinds
Zucchini
Squash, peeled and cubed
Beets, cubed and salted to control "bleeding"
Brussel Sprouts, halved

Keep these on hand, choosing whatever you like for your mix.  You can do one vegetable or a combination.  Just be sure to give them "room" on the pan so they can brown.

Cut up vegetables so they are similar in size.  Toss them together with some olive oil, salt and pepper.  For a slightly different taste, try using coconut oil instead of olive oil, or add a little sesame oil to either.  Go lightly on sesame oil though--it's a strong flavor.

 

Serve it up as a side dish.

Add some Burrata and balsamic and you can call it a main course.
