I adore vegetables. You can eat them raw, cooked, steamed, sauteed, or stir-fried. But my favorite way to eat vegetables is to roast them. They caramelize in the oven and some how tastes even better and with vegetables such as tomatoes, they become sweeter. It’s so simple my 10 year old can do it. Cut the vegetables up, toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. No skin off your nose. The oven does everything for you!
