I was a little over ambitious when I went to the grocery store and loaded up my cart with a tons of vegetable options and not a tons of ideas of what I was going to do with them. I did have some other recipes in mind for the week, but I made the mistake of shopping while hungry and just bought all the things. As the week went by, I was made the recipes I had planned for, and the extra veggies were still sitting in the fridge, saying, “Use me before I go bad!”
It was a Wednesday, our busy day, and I was on my own for dinner. I was tired. I just wanted to take it easy. I didn’t want to cook and was going to be super lazy and just grab an RxBar and some fruit, but I owned the fact that I was being lazy and that making something more nutritious wouldn’t take very long — and I am SO GLAD I did.
I used up those extra vegetables, brussels sprouts, butternut squash, and purple potatoes — well, half of them anyway — and roasted them in the oven.
These Oven Roasted Veggies Were Amazing!
While the vegetables were cooking in the oven, the fantastic smell of the Onion And Garlic Oven Roasted Vegetables began spreading through the whole house. It even brought Natalie downstairs wondering what smelled so good. I told her it was the vegetables roasting in the oven and fully expected her to turn up her nose, but she was so delighted by the smell, that she wanted to try them!
When the veggies came out of the oven, I had her try a pieces of the brussels sprouts, butternut squash, and purple potato, and she immediately asked for more. I ended up splitting the entire sheet of oven roasted vegetables with her. Parenting win!
I mean, seriously… how amazing to these vegetables look!

Simple Whole30 Dinner
I initially was going to eat the entire sheet of Onion And Garlic Oven Roasted Vegetables myself for dinner, but I ended up splitting the vegetables with Natalie. Saying yes to my kids eating vegetables took precedence over my own hunger and desire to do no work cooking, so I also grabbed a couple Adelle’s Artichoke Garlic Sausages and sauteed them while the vegetables were roasting.
We both enjoyed the quick easy meal with some fresh fruit and agreed that Brian missed out of a fantastic dinner… even if it was a last minute refrigerator scrounge meal.
