Healthy Roasted Vegetables

I know what you’re thinking – vegetables? Yuck! Still, eating well is part of a healthy lifestyle, and these healthy roasted vegetables actually taste great. Make this recipe as a side dish, or choose to place it inside of a pie dough for a main course. Either way, you will love these roasted vegetables (I promise!).

You Will Need: two potatoes cut up in cubed pieces; one sweet potato cut up; one onion chopped; a handful of cherry tomatoes; one bunch of broccoli chopped; three carrots chopped; sea salt; black pepper; extra virgin olive oil; cumin; oregano; and cinnamon.

To Make: place all of the above vegetables in a large baking pan and toss with olive oil until coated rather well. Then, add salt, pepper, and spices to taste. Cover the pan with a piece of tented tin foil, and place the entire dish in a slow oven (200 degrees) for about two hours (or, until all vegetables are cooked thoroughly).

The tomatoes in this recipe will create a sort of juice that runs throughout the dish. Once the tomato juice has mixed with the spices, the result is quite heavenly. Even if you hate vegetables, this dish is warm and wonderful without a lot of work. If you want a quick meal, simply grab a hunk of fresh bread and dip away – you may also choose to add other vegetables to this dish, and nearly anything will work well. Also, if you have a sweet tooth, you can drizzle a bit of honey over the top of this dish while it is baking for a sweeter taste.
