SPRING ROASTED VEGGIES WITH YOGURT

 SPRING ROASTED VEGGIES WITH YOGURT SAUCE OR SAUTEED WITH OLIVE OIL AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Springtime gardens boast a colorful array of veggie crops that take fondly to an oven roast with oil, salt and pepper. Herbs if you’d like as well but sometimes the salt and rich virgin olive oil is enough. The flavors of roots dug from dirt and brassicas clipped from thick stems is sweet, earthy and satisfying. For added kick a smear of yogurt laced with tart lemon and garlic makes a fine chilled dip for your roasted veggies to rest on.
