9 Kinda Brilliant Roasted Vegetable Combinations
From curried acorn squash to Sriracha broccoli
Acorn Squash + Coconut Oil + Curry Powder + Brown Sugar
Slice the winter squash, sprinkle it with seasoning and roast it skin side down for 40 minutes to an hour at 375°F until tender.
Carrots + Honey + Maple Syrup + Parsley + Thyme
Carrots sweeten naturally when roasted, but with a touch of honey and maple syrup, you might think you're eating dessert. (Roast for about 40 minutes on 375°F.)
Asparagus + Garlic + Lemon + Parmesan
Roast the spears for about 10 minutes at 400°F, then add the Parmesan garnish. Don't all greens taste better when baked with a layer of cheese?
Butternut Squash + Honey + Sage + Rosemary
Roast the squash for 30 to 45 minutes at 400°F until tender. Then eat it on its own, blend it into a soup or add it to a dish like risotto or pizza.
Brussels Sprouts + Shallots + Balsamic Vinegar + Pancetta
Some things are made for each other...like balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts and crispy pancetta. (Roast for 20 to 30 minutes at 400°F).

This side dish is a little taste of Thanksgiving any damn day you want. (Roast for 25 to 30 minutes on 375°F).
