Recipe: Grilled (or Roasted) Vegetables
Ingredients
- ½ cauliflower head, cut into small florets
- ½ broccoli head, cut into small florets
- 2 zucchini, halved lengthwise then cut into ½-inch pieces
- 2 cups mushrooms, halved
- 2 red, orange or yellow peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 sweet potato, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven or grill to 400 degrees F if roasting. If grilling, prepare a hot fire.
- In a large bowl, toss together cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, onion, olive oil, garlic and thyme until well mixed.
- Spread the mixture on a baking sheet if using the oven, or in a grill basket if using the grill. You can use heavy-duty tin foil over the grill grates if you do not have a basket. Gently pour the vegetables directly onto the foil.
- If roasting, cook until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized, stirring occasionally, 30-40 minutes. Grilled vegetables may take less time.
- Enjoy!
Note: mix it up by adding in your favorite vegetables. Asparagus or carrots make great additions.
