Roasted vegetbales

Roasting a bunch of vegetables at the beginning of the week is an easy way to add a little balance to your meals. You can serve them as a side dish, add them to a sandwich or wrap, or enjoy them as a snack.

These pesto roasted veggies are truly one of my favorite simple side dishes. They’re lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, then tossed in olive oil and roasted in the oven. After they are flavoured with homemade or store-bought pesto sauce.

The vegetables get perfectly tender while roasting, and pack in that delicious pesto flavor we all know and love.

This recipe would work with any vegetables you have on hand, but I personally love the combination of the zucchini, summer tomatoes and small potatoes. The tomatoes are releasing its juice while roasting so they flavours combine even more.
