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 (extra virgin 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 are best).
- Add extra virgin coconut oil and mix with vegetables until well combined. You can also use a quality brand of extra virgin olive oil or even grass-fed butter.
- Finish by adding salt and pepper, and mix until combined with the vegetables.
- Spread the vegetables into 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 tray into the hot oven.
- Let veggies 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. Make sure the veggies are cooked exactly as you like them.
- Now it’s time to decorate with fresh herbs. Mix fresh herbs gently for a few seconds to combine with roasted veggies. Use as much fresh basil and dill as you feel like.
- That was it! Serve these oven roasted vegetables as a side to your favorite meal or by themselves with or without extras.
Notes
Salt and pepper should be added before the veggies are to be roasted in the oven, while those fresh herbs go in at the end of the cooking process.
For an extra special taste, decorate with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano or aged Cheddar cheese.
Feel free to play with the quantities of vegetables or the spices, you can’t fail at making this recipe.
