Equipment
- Big Tray
Ingredients
- 4 medium white potatoes (skin removed, sliced big)
- 1 squash (skin removed, thick slices)
- 2 carrots (big slices)
- 1 bell pepper
- 7-8 white or brown mushrooms (cut big)
- 1 apple (seeds removed)
- 1 small red onion (peeled)
- fresh basil
- fresh dill
- 2-3 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil (ev olive oil or butter)
- salt and pepper (as needed)
- 1 cup water (for cooking in the oven)
Instructions
- Peel all the vegetables as needed and cut them into slices. Keep it simple and relaxing, there’s no pressure to cut them into certain sizes or shapes.
- Add all the vegetables into a heat resistant tray (ceramic or glass heat resistant trays work fine).
- Add the coconut oil and mix with vegetables until well combined. You can also use a quality brand of pure extra virgin olive oil or even grass-fed butter.
- Finish by adding salt and spices, and mix until combined with the vegetables.
- *Note:* Keep the fresh herbs until after the veggies are cooked.
- Spread the vegetables on the tray so they will cook evenly. Preheat the oven at 180-200 Celsius and prepare to place the tray inside.
- Add one cup of water into the tray and move it into the hot oven.
- Let it cook for 30-45 min or until the water has evaporated and a crust has formed on the vegetables.
- Stir the veggies halfway through cooking to make sure they cook evenly. Feel free to add more water if they need a bit more cooking time.
- Remove from the oven when the potatoes are soft but still retain a crust (or make sure they are cooked exactly as you like them).
- Now it’s time to decorate with fresh herbs. Use as much fresh basil and dill as you feel like, spreading it on top of the roasted vegetables.
- That was it! Serve these cooked vegetables as a side to your favorite meal or by themselves with or without extras.
Notes
For an extra special taste, decorate with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano or aged Cheddar cheese.
