Veggies without the fuss

So, one thing I've learned that really saves time when you have dinner to prepare and not enough hands, is cooking veggies in the oven. What you do: 1) Pick a vegetable. 2) Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. 3) Peel each piece and cut them into the size you want (the peeling can be optional, depending on what you've chosen). 4) Place on a non-stick pan or in an oven safe container. 5) Drip over enough of your favorite cooking oil to coat each piece (I just mix it around with my hands until it's completely spread around). 6) Season to your liking and then mix again. 7) Put the pan/container in for 25-40 minutes, or until you can poke into it a bit with a fork. 8) Serve and enjoy.   A few suggested combinations: -potatoes with green onions, salt, pepper, dill weed, and cheese. -thinly cut potatoes with any seasoning (creole, oregano, salt and pepper, etc.) for fries. -carrots with dill weed and salt. -asparagus with parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
