Ingredients

  • winter squashes
  • potatoes
  • yams or sweet potatoes
  • broccoli
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt, pepper, garlic, any other seasonings

Instructions

  • Begin by setting the oven to the appropriate temperature depending on which vegetable you're using, and place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat. (See note below.)
  • Toss your vegetable in olive oil, salt, and whatever other seasonings you are using.
  • When the oven is preheated, carefully pull the hot pan out of the oven and immediately spread the vegetables on the pan, to instantly sear the vegetables.
  • Place the pan back in the oven and cook for the recommended time. (See note below.)
  • Pull out of the oven and enjoy as they are. You could also add them to salads and other dishes.

Notes

This is one of our favorite ways to cook vegetables. The hot pan sears the bottom side of the vegetables and begins the cooking process. The top of the vegetables caramelizes in the high heat, and makes them so delicious. Soft on the inside, with a little crispiness on the outside. 
Heats and times may vary by oven and size of the vegetables. We usually cut our vegetables into bite-size pieces, except for the potatoes, which we cut into steak fries. These heats and times are guidelines. 
Potatoes: 500°F for 20-25 minutes
Winter Squashes: 500°F for 18-20 minutes
Yams or Sweet Potatoes: 450°F for 15 minutes
Broccoli: 450°F for 15 minutes
