Oven Roasted Potatoes (vegetables) (Recipes) - DeLaurenti : Recipes - Specialty Food and Wine

This is more of a technique than a recipe but it's definitely newsletter-worthy. Garrett, our chef de cuisine here at the store came up with this little twist based on his mother's tradition. You'll use this bit of advice for the rest of your culinary life - guaranteed.

Roasting vegetables is one of the easiest ways to complete a meal. So often we have the main course figured out, then we freeze when we need to see something else on the plate. Use this technique when you roast your veggies in the oven. The best thing about this recipe... you can substitute any vegetable for the potatoes. Try broccoli, cauliflower, baby carrots (cut length-wise), mushrooms, asparagus, etc., etc.

Preheat oven and baking sheet to 450 degrees. Toss the whole lot in a bowl. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and pour potatoes out onto the sheet. Roast for 8-10 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown.
