They are all happily mingle together in a very easy recipe, with simple ingredients of butter, garlic, seasoned with salt and black pepper.

This roasted spring vegetables recipe is also versatile…depending on what you get in the market, you can create your own combinations. You might use brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, bell peppers, etc., and they will turn out absolutely delightful, healthy and delicious.

The best things of all, it takes less than 20 minutes from prep to dinner table. It goes well with everything. If you don’t want to use oven, this dish can be sauteed in a skillet. Easy peasy!
