COLORFUL ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• While the turkey roasts, combine the vegetables and rosemary on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Cover with foil.
• After the turkey has roasted an hour, place the vegetables on the second rack in the oven. Roast 1 1/2 hours, uncover, and roast 30 minutes longer, tossing occasionally until vegetables are tender and golden brown.

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.

EASY ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss vegetables with enough oil to evenly coat in a thin film; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on one or more rimmed baking sheets, without crowding.
• Roast, stirring vegetables once (and rotating sheets' rack positions, if using two or more sheets) halfway through, until tender and golden brown in places, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve, or let cool completely and refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week. Vegetables can be reheated in the microwave or in a 350-degree oven until warmed through.

ROASTED VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut squash crosswise in 1/4-inch rings, and remove seeds. Place in a large bowl, and set aside. Cut potatoes in half, lengthwise, and place in bowl with squash. Trim greens from carrots, and peel. (If using large carrots, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch coins.) Add to squash.
• Trim roots from leeks, leaving end intact; cut off greens from leeks, and cut in half lengthwise. Wash well, then cut into long, thin wedges. Add to squash mixture.
• Cut brussels sprouts in half, and add to bowl. Peel celeriac, and cut into 1/4-inch wedges; add to bowl.
• Drizzle vegetables with 4 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss until well combined. Arrange in a single layer on two large rimmed baking sheets. Place beets in same bowl, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Toss again. Add to baking sheet with vegetables.
• Roast until golden brown and tender, about 45 minutes, tossing halfway through to ensure even browning. Remove from oven, and let cool slightly on baking sheets.
• Place greens on plates or platter and arrange vegetables over. Drizzle with warm dressing. Shave cheese thinly with a vegetable peeler, and garnish the salad with it. Serve immediately.

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Divide vegetables and garlic evenly between two rimmed baking sheets; drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then spread in single layers.

ROASTED MIXED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees with two racks centered. Spray two 12-by-14-inch roasting or jelly-roll pans with cooking spray. Arrange onions, rutabaga, turnips, carrots, squash, and brussels sprouts evenly in the two pans. Drizzle all with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toss lightly to coat vegetables. Sprinkle each pan with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle rosemary and thyme evenly over each pan, and roast for 25 minutes; turn vegetables with a spatula for even browning. Cook until vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife, 15 to 25 minutes more. Brussels sprouts may cook faster than other vegetables; if so, transfer to a serving platter, and keep warm until remaining vegetables are tender.

ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush 2 large rimmed baking sheets with oil. In a large bowl, toss all vegetables with oil and season with salt and pepper. Divide vegetables between baking sheets.

ROASTED-VEGETABLE SALAD WITH GARLIC DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put squash, potatoes, carrots, brussels sprouts, celery root, and beets into a large bowl. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss. Arrange vegetables in a single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets (do not crowd). Roast 15 minutes.
• Toss leeks with remaining tablespoon oil. Add to roasting vegetables; continue to roast, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and tender, about 35 minutes more. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool slightly.
• Place greens on a platter; top with vegetables. Drizzle with warm dressing. Season with salt and pepper.

GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place the peppers directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner on high heat or on a grill. Roast peppers, turning with tongs, until blackened all over. (Alternatively, broil peppers on a baking sheet, turning as each side becomes charred.) Transfer to a large bowl, and cover immediately with plastic wrap. Set aside to steam 15 minutes. Peel peppers; discard skin. Remove stems, seeds, and ribs; cut each pepper into 2-inch pieces.
• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Add carrots; cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to ice-water bath to stop cooking; transfer to kitchen or paper towels to drain completely. Repeat the process with squash, zucchini, fennel, and celery root. Squash and zucchini will take about 5 minutes; fennel and celery root will take about 8 minutes.
• Preheat grill to medium (if you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 to 6 seconds). Whisk together thyme, basil, garlic, and oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Brush all of the vegetables with herb oil. Grill peppers and blanched vegetables until heated through and marked by grill, about 5 minutes for peppers, 8 to 10 minutes for blanched vegetables. Grill radicchio and tomatoes until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes for tomatoes, 7 to 8 minutes for radicchio. Transfer to serving platters. Brush with remaining herb oil; season with salt. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• Place butter in a roasting pan and heat in oven until melted. Add vegetables, 1/4 cup of stock, and salt and pepper. Stir well to coat, and return to oven.
• Cook vegetables for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally and adding more stock as needed to keep vegetables slightly moist. Vegetables are done when tender and golden brown. Stir in herbs and serve.

ROASTED VEGETABLE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss tomatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, oregano, and two-thirds the garlic; season with salt and pepper. Brush another rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange squash in one layer; season with salt and pepper. Roast squash until tender, about 20 minutes, and tomatoes until slightly shriveled, about 40 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. In a blender, puree 20 tomato halves. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add remaining garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Gradually add 2 pounds spinach and toss until wilted, about 4 minutes. Transfer spinach to a strainer and press to release liquid. When cool, chop spinach and season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, mix ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmesan, egg, and nutmeg until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
• Lightly oil a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread one-quarter the tomato sauce in dish, top with 3 to 4 noodles, breaking to fit as needed. Top with half the ricotta mixture, half the squash, one-quarter the tomato sauce, and 3 to 4 noodles. Top with remaining ricotta mixture, cooked spinach, one-quarter the sauce, and 3 to 4 noodles. Top with remaining sauce, 1/2 pound mozzarella, and cup Parmesan.
• Set rack in middle of oven. Bake lasagna on a rimmed baking sheet until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Let lasagna cool 15 minutes before serving.

PASTA WITH ROASTED SUMMER VEGETABLES AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide squash, tomatoes, onions, and garlic between two large rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat and then spread evenly. Roast (without tossing) until tender and starting to brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil; add a generous amount of salt. Cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Drain, and return to pot.
• Add roasted vegetables, butter, parmesan, and basil to pot; season with salt and pepper, and toss gently with pasta to combine. Reheat over medium-low if necessary before serving.
