Gar-licky Oven Roasted Veggies



If you're looking for a simple and delicious recipe that works with whatever veggies are fresh in the market, you will want to give this recipe a go. 


My staples here in Mexico are carrot, onion and zuchini but any root vegetable or tuber works well. 


I cut them into big chunks (3 inches in length or so) so that they retain the slightest crunch after baking.

Tip: Serve them cold as seen here with hummus in place of salad.





Serves 8

Ingredients

5 Large Carrots, cut up in large chunks (approx. 3 inches)

5 Large Zuchini, cut up in large chunks (approx. 3 inches)

3 Large White Onions, quartered

Garlic, at least 3 cloves

Salt 

Pepper

3 Tb Olive Oil

Chopped Parsley
***

Instructions



1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 C) for approximately 15 minutes. Meanwhile, give your veggies a good wash and a rough chop.



2. Take your garlic cloves and smash, chop, and pueree with salt and pepper using the back of your kitchen knife on a cutting board. Coninue working the ingredients until it has developed into thick, rough paste.



3. Load your veggies onto a baking pan and drizzle them with about 2 TB of olive oil. Then smother them with the garlic paste. Get your hands in there and make sure all the veggies get a nice coat.





4. Bake your veggies for approximately 25 minutes. Pull them out and give 'em a shake so that they brown evenly and return to the pan for another 20-25 minutes.




5. Pull the roasted veggies once browned to taste (approx 20-25 more mins) and drizzle them with a bit more olive oil and the chopped parsley. 




6. And done! These keep about a week in the fridge.
