"roasted vegetables" news and stories

There are few things I like in life better than a plate of expertly roasted vegetables. While the act of roasting veggies is fairly easy - toss bite-sized pieces of vegetal matter in a baking pan with some olive oil, salt and pepper and blast under some high heat - I have found that some people seem to have a magic touch when it comes to the old veggie roasting. When making a roasted veggie medley, my friend Cindy takes the time to roast each family of veggies separately so that they are all perfectly cooked. My sister does amazing things with a sheet pan of root vegetables, olive oil, garlic and Bragg's Liquid Aminos. I discovered just last weekend that my friend Fran is also gifted in the roasted vegetable department.

Judging from this plate of Roasted Cauliflower and Caramelized Onions, I do believe that the folks over at Sunday Nite Dinner also have the roasted veggie touch. I would very much like a plate of those multi-colored cauliflower florets right now. Lucky for me, they've posted a link to their blog with the recipe.
