In the winter, sometimes I go to the grocery store and don't want to buy any fruits and veggies. Everything is brown, wilted, and way out of season. But, I still want to have lots of veggies in our diet. One way I've done this is cooking more root vegetables, which are delicious even in the winter. This would be a perfect side dish for Christmas dinner, right next to the turkey and gravy, yummm!
What you need:
- 1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Let's get cooking:
Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl. Lightly spray an 8 x 8 glass dish with cooking spray, then pour in the veggies.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 35 minutes, or until the veggies are soft.
That's it--simple, seasonal roasted veggies for dinner!
