Take the vegetables you would use in a cold salad and broast them in the oven dressed with the oil, maybe lemon juice and the seasonings you would put on a salad?
Baking vegetables on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes (give or take) is just so dog-gone easy.
I've declared this to be today's salad.. because it's just so good and so easy and healthy, besides I didn't feel like chopping up a whole lot of things! Just cut these in large chunks and plop them on the pan.
This particular mix is; broccoli, sweet onion and mushrooms baked on a jelly roll pan
until there's some brown color on the vegetables.
There should be a bit of crispiness on the broccoli.
Color = flavor (heard that on the Food Network).
I simply put olive oil, salt, pepper, bit of garlic powder on the mix
then tossed some sesame seeds on top.
Oh my,, it's like a whole meal right there.
Let this cool off a bit and eat it just warm or at room temperature.
Tomorrow.. popcorn salad!!! (I wish).
Love ya, be healthy,

I do that quite often - my veggies are onion, gr pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, asparagus, and I use olive oil also with garlic salt. It is sooooo good!
ReplyDeleteI'll give ya points for creativity...I'lleat the OTHER stuff you DIDN'T put on that plate!
ReplyDeleteOh Ramblings, good mix! Asparagus is a great addition or done alone. Broasting brings out the sweetness.
ReplyDeleteTo Meat Eater, you are welcome to any of the other stuff.
