Thanksgiving Recipe I’ll Be Making: Gorgeous Roasted Veggies!

November 7, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

Special thanks to Reynolds for sponsoring this Thanksgiving recipe content through the Reynold Real Moms program. Parchment Paper is a total game changer, y’all!
Today I’m excited to be sharing with you the main vegetable dish I will be serving to my family on Thanksgiving Day. It is absolutely gorgeous, is loved by every member of my family (even my 4-year-old who could live on peanut butter!), and is likely going to be the easiest recipe on the table because it is so flexible. Check it out and see if you might want to try it for your family feast, or even for the next time you have company over!
Harvest Bounty Roasted Vegetables
Ingredients:
  • various in-season vegetables of your choice (great options include most varieties of squash, zucchini, sweet potatoes, new potatoes, miniature onions, brussels sprouts, eggplant, carrots, radishes)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • other seasoning of choice (we use Italian seasoning)
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • Reynolds Parchment Paper
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Tear a sheet of Reynolds Parchment Paper to fit a baking pan with raised edges. If your sheet is too large and hangs over the edges, just grab a pair of scissors and cut it to size. Depending on the number of guests you are serving, you may need more than one pan for roasting.
Scrub your vegetables and slice as needed for optimal roasting (you will see in my example that I cut squash into bite-size pieces, cut brussels sprouts in half, and left the miniature onions and carrots whole).
Thanksgiving recipes: roasted veggies
In a large bowl, add roughly 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, pepper, and selected seasoning. Mix well to combine. Then add the vegetables to the bowl and toss well to ensure they are all coated with oil.
When the oven is ready, place your oiled and seasoned veggies on your parchment paper, and spread them out so that they aren’t piled on top of each other. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip over the vegetables. Return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes.

Serve immediately! The vegetables will slide right off the parchment paper with no sticking, and the cleanup will consist of simply tossing the parchment paper. One less thing to clean on a very busy day is something we all can be thankful for!
What are you thinking about serving for your veggies this Thanksgiving???
