Roasted Zucchini and Carrots


Roasted Zucchini and Carrots

We are trying very hard as a family to up our veggie intake.  Most of the time, we just heat up some frozen veggies to have with dinner.  We are all a little picky about which vegetables we like (Jim likes broccoli, green beans, peas and corn; I like spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, lettuce, green beans, peas, carrots, and corn).  I was so happy to find this recipe that makes some of my favorite veggies taste even better!  They are delicious roasted and so easy!  This at least helps me get my veggies in :)

Ingredients:
olive oil
salt & pepper
zucchini & carrots (other veggies are good this way too!)
seasoning

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425*F.  Cut veggies into 3 inch sticks, making sure they are even in thickness.  Line a baking pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.  Lightly toss the veggies with a tablespoon of olive oil and your seasonings.  Season with salt and pepper and your other favorite seasoning blend (seasoning salt, Italian seasoning, paprika, cumin, cayenne, are all good choices).  Spread seasoned veggies on the lined tray and roast for about 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and slightly browned at the edges.
