    I prefer them separate, rather than together, but my absolute favorite is roasted cauliflower, followed by roasted broccoli.

    Baked Roma Tomato Spaghetti on the menu this week.
    An old favorite that is awesome and makes the house smell so good when baking !
    Low cal to boot. :) adding three sautéed prawns per serving. Just under 500 cals.

    Beets - are these AKA beetroot?

    to roast them to you need to boil them first or just stick in the oven? do you cut them up or leave whole?

    LOVE beetroot !

    I do two different kinds of roasting -- one cut up and tossed with a little olive oil and herbs, the other whole in foil.

    Wrapping beets, sweet potatoes, or a butternut squash individually in foil and roasting them with the skins on is great. They can be baked anywhere from 300F to 400F along with whatever else is in the oven. They take about an hour depending on the temp and how big the veg is. When you can poke a fork easily through the foil and into the middle of the veg, it's done.

    If you don't want to eat them right away, you can just throw them in the fridge still in their foil and keep them a few days. Then, when you want to eat them, the skins slough off the beets easily with a paper towel and the potatoes or squash scoop easily out of their skins.

    The beets are prone to leak no matter how tightly you wrap them and their juice burns on like concrete so set the wrapped beets in a lined pan to bake them.

    I have instructions for veggie roasting, including roasted red peppers, on my hobby cooking blog:

    I like roasted vegetables but am concerned with all the extra calories from the olive oil. I think I tried baking veg without any oil before and it was really dry and not very palatable.

    Beets, onions, cauliflower, butternut squash, peppers and little potatoes with Greek flavouring. I lived on this during the winter.

    I like roasted veggies, but I have never tried putting veggies together. I usually just roast potatoes or asparagus or brussel sprouts etc. I will have to come up with some combinations. Sounds tasty.

    You need some fat in your diet and a little bit of oil goes a long way. I use a teaspoon of oil with 2 teaspoons of balsamic and toss it through enough veg to last for 2 meals. The calories from the oil are negligible and it tastes great. Spray oil can also be good to get a coating without adding too many calories.
