The sheet pan method makes this easy, but it’s the sweet and spicy glaze that creates something AMAZING! A simple tomato based sauce is tossed on the colored bell peppers and slices of onion before they are placed on a baking sheet to roast along side of Polish sausage aka kielbasa. Eat the sausages and peppers by themselves or assemble on your favorite hoagie style bun for a sandwich fit for a quick supper, game day, or even company.

Oven Roasted Asparagus

Excellence in simplicity!  Oven Roasted Asparagus shows off these tender, crisp spears to perfection!

Easy Oven Roasted Asparagus

While Asparagus is available year round, Spring is when it is best!  The flavor is bright and clean with earthy undertones and is very mild when the spears are fresh.

One of my favorite ways to prepare vegetables is to roast them.  The flavor and texture of vegetables roasted in the oven or on the grill may surprise even a picky eater.  The combinations are endless like Fresh Roasted Green Beans with Bacon and Shallots, Roasted Brussels Spouts, and even Pumpkin with Crispy Sage and Brown Butter.  Best part, the preparation is so incredibly simple!  And have you tried more non-traditional roasted vegetable choices like Roasted Butternut Squash or Roasted Sweet Mashed Potatoes?  I’m telling you, Roasting can elevate and improve on a vegetable’s taste and texture in the most unexpected and delightful ways!  Don’t be surprised if you discover a new favorite!

Updated with new pics 1/14/19! Enjoy!

I feel like I only really discovered Blood Oranges this year and I’m not quite sure why that is.  Part of it has to do with the fact that they are only available from around December to May.  Part of it is that I tend to primarily buy oranges only for the kids and they prefer the little, easy-peal cuties.  And I think I always assumed they would be grapefruitish.  Not that there is anything wrong with that.
