Oh I LOVE roasting things – thanks to the Barefoot Contessa. :)
Let’s see, I roast carrots, potatoes, asparagus, tonight I roasted sliced squash. I’ve learned that everything is better roasted with nothing but olive oil, s&p.

I’ve never tried the broccoli, but I love the asparagus that way! :)
Meeling
Looks good! We do asparagus all the time…I especially like it done on the grill…asparagus, grape tomatoes, olive oil and salt and pepper. Into the grill basket and onto the grill until the tomatoes are just about to burst…Yum!
Lois Moon
Asparagus! I make it the same way – sea salt, pepper, and olive oil. When it is done sometimes I toss with some lemon zest and crushed pistachios. I also roast brussels sprouts.

I LOVE roasted Broccoli, and I usually throw carrots and onions in there too. The tips of the broccoli get so crispy and yummy and full of flavor. I ALWAYS add garlic too (to just about everything) and sometimes lemon pepper. I roast up a batch a couple of times a week so I always have some on hand!
