Yummy Recipe for a warm winter night

Here is a yummy recipe to warm a cold winter night. An assortment of colorful vegetables makes this a very elegant, yet simple dish, that may stand alone or be served with an entree of fish or meat. The vegetables are best roasted right before serving.

Roasted Vegetables with Tahini Dressing

Preheat oven 425 degrees. 

You can pick whichever vegetables you would like. Here are some of my favorites…

Carrots…peeled…roast for 20-25 minutes

Asparagus and green beans…rinsed…roast for 10-15 minutes

Broccoli and cauliflower…cut into bite sized pieces…roast for 20-25 minutes

Beets and onions…peeled…cut into 3/4 inch wedges…roast for 40-45 minutes

Acorn Squash…halved, seeded, cut into 1 inch wedges…roast for 40-45 minutes

Toss vegetables in olive oil, until well coated. Toss once or twice while roasting.

Pinch cayenne pepper

2 cloves garlic minced or pressed

2 Tbs olive oil
