Spring Vegetables
Roasting anything is the easiest way to cook and roasting vegetables is a no brainer.  You just drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper over whatever vegetable your family will eat and roast in the oven and you have yourself a side dish.
Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of veggies and the addition of vinegar helps them keep their color and off sets the sweetness with a tang.
You can use whatever vegetable you can find, but I like a mixture of colors.  And I’ll say it again, try radishes!  I promise they are so good and roasting makes them sweet.
