Roasted vegetables and cookies, oh my

March 20th, 2011 at Sun, 20th, 2011 at 9:47 pm by dennisbox

I didn’t get home from Kent until 5 p.m., but I wanted to make some brown butter chocolate-white chocolate chip cookies for my son, Chris.

Nothing like living through your kids. After I watched him eat the cookies I don’t get to touch thanks to my evil physician, Dr. Neverhavefun, I decided a batch of roasted vegetables would satisfy.

Oil, lemon juice, basil, thyme, oregano and garlic with about a tablespoon of butter just to show my doctor who’s the boss.

I cut up whatever I have in the refrigerator that doesn’t have some growth on it, throw it in a bowl and pour the oil dressing over it.

Toss it in a roasting pan for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

It’s not cookies, but the small amount of butter make me feel like a rebel.
