​Life is so hectic these days, there’s no time for anything. Therefore, if we plan ahead, we will have more time to do other important things, like spend quality time with the family. If you prep. the veggies for your weekly side dishes, it will be only a matter or cooking or warming them up and boom, dinner will be served quickly!
 
Category:  HACK-SIDES
Approx. Prep and Cook Time:   UNDER 30 Minutes
Approximate Cost:    $7.79 or $1.59 per serving  
Difficulty Level:  Easy
Allergens, Other:  Gluten Free   __√__   Vegetarian __√__ 
Servings: 5 + days/2 people of 1 type of veggie + 2 servings of my Cauli-Brocco Rice.
 
Ingredients and Prep Required
3 large beets, rinsed, peeled (1 cut in small cubes, 1 in large cubes, 1 sliced) ($2.00)
1 med- size broccoli head, rinsed, florets detached and core discarded ($1.50)
1 cauliflower head, clean and florets detached ($2.89)
3 organic rainbow carrots, peeled, ends cut (Trader Joe’s-@ $2.89/bag (.80)
1 large sweet potato, rinsed, peeled and cut in cubes (.60)
 
Directions
  1. If you wish, just follow my slide presentation, is easy. OR,
  2. Prep the beets, place them in a separate baking pan, separate from the other veggies.
  3. Next, cut your sweet potato in slices and place in an aluminum baking mold with half the cauliflower and carrots. Refrigerate until the day that you plan to oven roast these veggies.
  4. Add half of the broccoli and cauliflower florets into a food processor and process to get a container of my Cauli-Brocco Rice. This amount will render approx. enough for 2 people after you sauté it with onions, mushrooms, olive oil, garlic and my or your favorite seasonings.
  5. Overall, cover and refrigerate everything until time to roast the veggies or cook the rice.
  6. When you are ready to roast them, start the oven at 400 degrees, smother with oil, roast for about 35 to 40 minutes, DEPENDING ON YOUR OVEN CALIBRATION, ALL OVENS HEAT DIFFERENTLY! Also, I like to roast these veggies for about 15 minutes covered, then remove the cover to finish the cooking and brown them a bit. This helps to soften the hard veggies a bit faster.
