Roasted Vegetables with Sage

Carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower are all prime examples of veggies that are perfectly delicious when enjoyed raw but can really sing when you add in just a few aromatics and some heat. So, if you need a quick and elegant side loaded with comforting flavor, all you need is some olive oil, garlic, herbs, a bit of lemon, and a bag of Taylor Farms Vegetable Medley. This medley contains carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower, all pre-washed and prepped to make your time in the kitchen a little easier. After a little time roasting in the oven — roughly enough time to enjoy a quick episode of your show of choice — you’ll be all set to savor a fresh batch of restaurant-worthy roasted veggies that can pair well with any number of dishes. (More on that below).

Total TIME:
30 minutes

Ingredients

1 package Taylor Farms Vegetable Medley
3 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons fresh sage leaves, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for added freshness)

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine the vegetable medley with olive oil, chopped sage, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are well coated.
Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, and the vegetables are tender. Toss the vegetables halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Transfer the roasted veggies to a serving dish. Top with fresh sage leaves and enjoy!
