Roasted Vegetable Primer If you've never roasted vegetables, it's truly an easy process. 1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. 2. Spray a non-stick cookie sheet with olive oil cooking spray. 3. Spread vegetables like carrots, broccoli, squashes, mushrooms, beets - you name it onto your cookie sheet and sprinkle with fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, oregano, or chopped garlic. Season with a little salt and pepper. Spray with cooking spray. 4. Roast for 20 - 30 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and starting to lightly brown. Give it a try, I promise you won't be disappointed in the results. Happy cooking!
