]]>While the oven preheats, you want to chop your veggies. The idea is to make everything evenly sized so it will cook evenly. You can use any chopping technique you want and the preferred shape may depend on the type of vegetable.

]]>Here is a winning combination of vegetables and how to roast them.
First, you’re going to need peppers. These can be red, green or yellow depending on your color scheme. Given the combination we’re going for today, red peppers or yellow peppers are probably the best option.
The best way to roast garlic is to roast the whole clove. A perfectly roasted garlic clove should be browned on the outside and slightly juicy on the inside. This offsets the freshness of the pepper.
You want your red onion cut into large slices so it can be chargrilled on the outside but retain moisture on the inside. This will hold lots of flavor and combine deliciously with the peppers and garlic.
Cut your zucchinis into fairly thick slices so that they can stay juicy and succulent. The green of the zucchini contrasts nicely with the red of the onion, white of the garlic and the red or yellow of the peppers.

]]>You need to preheat the oven to 425°F in order to get the perfectly caramelized crust. While your oven heats, cut the squash into little cubes. Coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like it spicy.
Next, place the squash over the baking sheet and make sure you don’t overcrowd it. Toss in the oven and let it roast for 40-50 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when you can easily pierce the squash with a fork.
That’s it – you now have perfectly roasted butternut squash that you can use as a side dish for various fall lunches and dinners!
