Roasted vegetables – sidedish
And did the christmas stress hit in full force yet? Did you decide on your menu and than you realized you forgot the vegetables? Because let’s be honest; the sidedishes are usually not the first things on your mind when it comes to Christmas planning right? And I have to say that as a new years resolution I am planning to spend more attention to sidedishes and than mainly vegetable dishes. You can do so much with veggies! So… now you know…
But for dinner on Christmas we are eating roasted vegetables from the oen. I love it and it is an easy and stress free dish. The only thing you need to take into account is that not all vegetables are done at the same time. Hard ones like carrots and turnips will take longer than soft ones like tomato. You can put in everything at the same time but your tomatoes will have turned to mush and your carrots will still be hard by that time. So if that is not what you want, it is best to add the vegetables in stages.
