Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F
  • Drizzle 2 Tbsp of olive oil in the bottom of a rectangular baking dish.
  • Place your veggies of choice in a large bowl. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place vegetables into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Nestle a head of garlic into vegetables, cut-side up and drizzle bare cloves with olive oil.
  • Roast vegetables 40-60 minutes to your desired tenderness, gently tossing every 20 minutes.
  • Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins (be careful, they’ll be hot!). Transfer vegetables and garlic cloves to a serving bowl; season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
