Roasted Vegetable Medley

I love versatility, using my imagination or current cravings to make something new out of something ordinary.  Vegetable medleys are the flexible foodie’s dream—utilizes what you have, gives everyone something they like (or will eat without a fuss), nutritionally well rounded, easily introduces new vegetables at dinnertime.  Choosing colorful varieties adds interest while roasting caramelizes natural sugars, developing flavors that complement any meal. Follow the suggested combination listed, or choose your favorite vegetables and spices to create an entirely new side dish each time you make it.

    Never in my wildest cooking dreams would I have roasted a radish. I look forward to roasting one of my home grown french radishes. Yum with a kick!

      I know what you mean, Mary, roasting radishes was a new one for me too with this recipe after seeing it in a number of cooking magazine recently. Roasting mellows the kick and brings out a flavor all-new to radishes– very good.

    That’s a great looking dish. I love the colours. I have never cooked radishes before, always eaten them raw. Wonderful how this is both tasty and good for you. xx

  1. Alfredo Sauce: A Classic Canvas | Savoring Today - May 12, 2011

    [...] Butter, cream, cheese, are all part of this beloved classic sauce.  The interpretations can vary widely, somewhere between bland and flat to overly salty and processed tasting due to fillers in place of real cream.  I avoid ordering Alfredo in restaurants for that reason, never knowing which side of the spectrum to expect.  I like this recipe for its accents of garlic, lemon, and mix of Parmesan and Romano cheeses.  Remarkably easy to prepare at home, this simple sauce creates the perfect canvas for all sorts of enhancements like Cedar Plank Grilled Chicken (as shown), Blacken Salmon,  sautéed shrimp, or roasted vegetables.
