Roasted veggies are one of the easiest ways to add more vegetables to your diet. They pair well with many dishes including meat, fish, and plant-based lunches and dinners. Here’s how to make perfectly roasted veggies every single time.

Step 1: Chopping

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.

Step 2: Prepping

You can easily roast vegetables without any preparation, but you can also make them more delicious with oil and salt. Use olive oil for added flavor and healthy fats. If you have a spray bottle, spray some oil on your veggies to ensure even coating.

Step 3: Roasting

You want to put the baking tin with the veggies in the top third of the oven because that’s where they will roast the best. For an even result, you’ll need to turn them once in the middle of the roasting process. Depending on the vegetable you use, you can either shake the pan or use tongs to turn individual pieces.

Step 4: Finishing

After you take them out of the oven, you can sprinkle your veggies with a bit more olive oil, salt, or add some other flavor like lemon juice, minced herbs, or vinegar.

So, some of the requests I’ve had for what to cook this week are for one pots, vegan recipes, easy recipes, (Turkish) Cypriot recipes with a twist, desserts, fish, so I’m keeping it simple and starting with one that nails the one pot, vegan, easy requests; Fırında Sebze (Vegetables Baked in the Oven). So simple, so tasty, full recipe below, and I just used up the sad and lonely veg in the fridge to make mine. Eat hot, warm or cold. Perfect with crusty bread, olives, cacık. Takes over just an hour to cook, but once it’s all in, it’s a piece of cake. INGREDIENTS 2 aubergines 2 courgettes 2 sweet potatoes, peeled 2 white potatoes, peeled 4 onions, peeled 8 garlic cloves, peeled Red, yellow or green bell pepper 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses 1 heaped tsp smoked paprika 1 heaped tsp oregano 1 tsp dried thyme (or you can use a few sprigs fresh) 1 tsp onion granules 1 tsp garlic granules 3/4 tsp cumin 3/4 tsp paprika 300g passata 1 vegetable stock cube 1 tbsp tomato purée 400ml boiling water 3/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper METHOD Preheat oven to 180c (fan). Slice veg into 1cm rounds. Put aubergines, courgettes and potatoes into a large bowl. Melt stock cube and tomato purée in a jug with the boiling water and leave to one side. In a small dish mix together oil, molasses, spices and coat all of the veg that you put into the large bowl with this oily, spicy mixture. Make sure everything is coated. Grease a deep metal baking tray with a little olive oil, pour in the passata, then start to line up the vegetables until the tray is full. Dot the garlic cloves in any gaps in the tray, and bake on the middle shelf for 25 mins. After 25 mins, take out, pour in stock mixture, cover with foil, bake for another 30 mins. Take out, take off foil, turn heat up to 200C (fan) and bake uncovered for 15-20 mins more. Allow to cool for 10-15 mins before serving. – – #roastedvegetables #sebze #fırındasebze #roastedveggies #spices #dinnerrecipes #plantbasedrecipes #veggies #turkish #cypriotfood #cypriotcuisine #turkishfood #middleeasternfood #food #foodie #melizcooksveggie #melizcooksaubergines #meze #familydinner #feedfeed #melizcooks #melizcooksvegan
