Ingredients

• 4-6 cups fresh vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, butternut squash)

• Several pinches of coarse kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. On a large, rimmed baking sheet (11X17-inches), drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil and toss with the salt and pepper.
3. Cook for 10 minutes. Stir or flip the vegetables and cook for about 10 minutes more. The exact time will depend on the type of vegetable and how large/small it is cut. Broccoli and cauliflower follow this rule pretty closely. Squash like zucchini and yellow squash roasted fairly quickly.
