Roasted Vegi Rescue Bowl

Don't let those vegis waste away in your fridge!  Yes, I have both a post 1929 depression mentality, along with an overactive imagination which has left me convinced that all food deserves its moment to be "plated," or it will be sad.

Line a pan and rescue any vegis that may be lying around - potatoes, carrots, onions, peppers, squash - whatever ya got.  Toss vegis in olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Keeping the seasoning simple will make it easy to add these tasty bits to a wide variety of dishes.


Keep in mind that different vegetables have different cook times.  I cut these potatoes down to ensure that they would be done in roughly the same time as the carrots, onions, and peppers. 
400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.


The onions, carrots, and peppers become caramelized in the oven.

To make this dish feel more substantial I added 1/4 a cup of butternut squash soup over the vegis (tomato soup would be good too) and finished with sprinkled walnut pieces and a dollop of sour cream.

Now, I sleep well knowing these vegis had their moment and did not wilt away in the bottom of my vegetable drawer.
