Have you checked out my recipe for roasted veggies??  If not, you should really get on that.

They’re amazing.  Seriously.  Simple, delicious, fast.  We eat them constantly.

The other day I was tasked at making a side dish to take to a friend’s house for dinner, and I knew that I wanted to roast some veggies, but what I added to the mix made them even more delicious!!  Give it a try and add some dates…YUM!

Roasted Veggies with Dates:

• ~3-4 cups of fresh green beans, snapped in half
• 1 cup of mushrooms cut into large pieces
• 2 cups of dates, not pitted
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tsp. yellow curry powder
• 3/4 tsp. sea salt
• 3/4 tsp. ground cracked pepper
• 1/4 tsp. onion powder
• 14 tsp. garlic powder

In a large bowl, mix together the vegetables, dates and olive oil.  In a separate small bowl mix together your spices. Sprinkle the spices over the veggie/date mix and spread out onto a baking sheet.  Bake at 425F for 25 minutes.  The dates will still be soft but will have a totally different vibe to them.  Make sure to warn others to spit the pits out!  Serves 4-5 people.
