good veggies to roast?

[Mrs_S]

My friend made some amazing roast veggies last week, but used high carb starchy choices. I'd like to make my own improved version...what should I include? i'm actually trying to include some of the "out of the ordinary" stuff.

I like a lot of weird veggies myself, but actually find that I enjoy yellow squash better than all others cooked this way.

Is yellow squash possibly the same as summer squash?
I didn't see Yellow Sq on the Induction veggie list.

I love roasted veggies.

I sometimes take a small tomato and hollow it out, fill it with a mixture of cream cheese, crabmeat, salt, pepper and garlic then roast it until the tomato is soft and the cream cheese is kinda brown on top. Yum. This is also good with green peppers and topped with swiss cheese. Just becareful of your cheese count.

I roast green beans with shallots
Brussel sprouts
Califlower
Cherry tomato roast until they brown and start to burst
Asparagus
Broccoli
Fennel is good roasted takes some of that bitter taste out.

Yeah, yellow squash, summer squash - same thing.

I slice it into rounds like a cucumber slice, lay it out on the pan and drizzle with oil and sprinkle it with some veggie seasoning mix I have (watch for sugar, msg, or unlisted generic "spices" on the label if you use a seasoning mix), some sea salt and fresh ground pepper... really, really good.

Other good "roasting" Induction veggies are Belgium endive, celeriac (VERY GOOD!!!!!), kohlrabi, daikon radish and regular radishes, turnips and whole pumpkin chunks.

Right before serving, I like to drizzle on more olive oil and mix in fresh chopped herbs.

See if your public library has a copy of The Roasted Vegetable by Andrea Chesman. It's been a while since I've read it, but I think it has a chart that has the veggies, how to prepare them for roasting, roasting temps and times.

Roasted jerusalem artichokes are great too, if you like unusual vegetables.
Made them taste quite sweet. I think we just used olive oil and sea salt.

Re: good veggies to roast?

this month's Southern Living has some recipes for roasted stuff... haven't tried it.. but they look and sound awesome

Roasted Fennel and Summer Squash..
Grilled Rainbow Peppers (tweak to leave out brown sugar.. and change vinegar type)
Roasted Green Beans and Cashews (could be made to work.. without cashews and soy sauce)

If you don't like to eat the stalks of broccolli you can peel the tough skin from them and roast! Delish!!
