Recipe of the Week

Roasted veggies are the perfect accompaniment to fall and winter dishes. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables, and the dry oven heat makes them little bundles of golden crispy deliciousness. They’re wonderful dressed only in salt and pepper, but for variety, toss in a combination of your favorite herbs.
