Cuisine American
Servings 4 Portions

Ingredients
  

  • 2-4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Cup carrots Peeled & sliced 1/2" thick (apx.)
  • 1 Cup Small Potatoes Fingerling or gold (wash; skins can be left on) - cut as needed
  • 1 Cup sweet potatoes Peeled and chopped into 1/2" to 1" pieces
  • 1 small - medium onion Sliced or course chopped, as preferred
  • 1/2 Cup squash Course chopped
  • 1/2 Cup mushrooms Sliced into thick sections
  • 3/4 Cup peppers Remove seeds and course chop or cut into slices
  • 3 Corn on the Cob Shucked and cut in half or thirds
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced or diced
  • handful cherry tomatoes Cut in half
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • Salt and cracked pepper to taste
  • Other Seasonings as desired

Instructions
 

  • General instruction: Prepare your vegetables, toss them in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast ingredients in your hot oven (450°F - 600°F) in a terracotta pan or cast iron skillet set away from the direct flame. Gently stir the ingredients and turn your pan occasionally to keep the vegetables from sticking.
  • First, roast carrots, small potatoes, and sweet potatoes. (Cut all of the hardest vegetables to approximately same size so that they roast in about the same amount of time.) These will take longer to cook than the soft vegetables.
  • Next, add squashes, onions, mushrooms, and peppers (your softer vegetables.) These will need less time to cook.
  • Meanwhile, roast seasoned corn in a separate skillet for a bit (until slightly pre-cooked.) Add to the top of the mix.
  • Add garlic, a handful of garden cherry tomatoes, rosemary, and seasonings to taste. Cook until fragrant.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle with a balsamic vinegar glaze before serving for a bit of zing!
Chopping and preparing all of your ingredients up front (the French call this "Mise en place" or "putting in place / everything in its place") makes assembly of the dish super easy. You can focus on your main course, and just give the veggies a toss or stir as they cook, and when the first layer has softened, pop in the subsequent layers to finish it up.
Cook times will vary based on your combination of vegetables and oven temperature. Plan for 20 - 40 min on average. (Longer if you use more root vegetables, shorter is you use soft vegetables.)
