Burning Food Ain't Always a Bad Thing

Okay, wrong choice of words. I meant charred. :P

I've been busy lately so preparing a fuul production meal for lunch in quite impossible having my mom around and commuting back and forth from work, my sister's home in the south and my apartment. Knowing Manila traffic, you basically waste 3 hours of your life everyday to just break even.

Lately, I've been obsessed with using my toaster oven to cook my vegetables. It started with peppers, then eggplant, then cauliflower and so on. I've been doing cauliflower and carrots these past few days. But today I decided to add more veggies and legumes. French beans, who garlic and garbanzos.

Today, since I am in my sister's house, I used her oven to prep my lunch.

So here it is t first. throw all the veggies you like on a non stick pan to pop in the oven. These are

Garbanzos

Cauliflower

Carrots

2 whole Garlic cloves sliced crosswise

French beans

Salt

Pepper

Paprika

Finnes Herbes

Other vegetables you may add are:

Red, Green and Yellow Pepper

Zuchinni or Zuchinni Squash Blossoms

Eggplant

Okra

Etcetera :)

So here is the as we tossed the veggies with olive oil and all spices.

Getting ready to burn above and the finished product below. I like how the garbanzos are a little crispy on the outside. Roasting vegetables bring out their flavor especially when drizzled with more EVOO. Perfect over steamed white rice.
