Baked Autumn Vegetables Food

ROASTED FALL VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Toss 2 sliced portobello mushroom caps (gills scraped out), 2 chopped peeled sweet potatoes, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 4 quartered shallots, 2 smashed garlic cloves and 2 teaspoons fresh thyme; season with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees F, stirring once or twice, until browned, 30 minutes. Toss with 2 tablespoons parsley and more olive oil.

BAKED AUTUMN VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Wash the squash. Using a chef's knife, carefully cut off the bottom and stem ends of the squash. Cut the narrow part (neck) from the rounded bottom part of the squash; cut the rounded bottom in half. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and fibers from the bottom halves and discard. Using a sharp vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the neck and 2 bottom halves. Cut squash into 1-inch pieces.
• Scrub the potatoes thoroughly with a vegetable brush and water to remove any dirt, but do not peel. Cut each potato into eighths. Peel the onion; cut into 16 wedges and separate pieces. Peel the sweet potato and cut into 1-inch pieces. Peel and finely chop the garlic.
• Heat the oven to 425°F. Spray a 15x10x1-inch pan with the cooking spray. Place the squash, potatoes, onion, sweet potato and carrots in the pan. Pour the oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with the garlic, sage, rosemary and salt. Stir to coat vegetables.
• Roast uncovered 35 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender when pierced with a fork.

AUTUMN VEGETABLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• For the sauce: Stir together the stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch and pepper in a small bowl, making sure the cornstarch is dissolved well. Set aside.
• For the vegetable stir-fry: Heat a wok or a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. Swirl in
• the oil to coat the bottom. When you see wisps of white smoke, add the tofu and stir-fry until light brown on the edges, about 2 minutes. Then add the ginger and stir-fry it until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, carrots, cabbage and snow peas and keep them moving while searing. Don't be scared to scrape the pan and fold the vegetables over many times. Cook until the Napa cabbage gets bright green and starts to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir in the sauce, coat all the vegetables and tofu and bring the sauce to a boil. The cornstarch will thicken into a glaze, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

ROASTED FALL VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide vegetables and garlic between two rimmed baking sheets (or line with parchment paper, if desired, for easy cleanup); dividing evenly, toss with oil, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Roast until vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 40 to 50 minutes, tossing them and rotating sheets from top to bottom halfway through. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread vegetable mixture on prepared baking sheet. Roast until vegetables are tender, stirring and turning occasionally, about 1 hour. (Vegetables can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Let stand on baking sheet at room temperature. Rewarm in 350°F oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.)
