Happy Mother's Day!

Dinner tonite was a london broil for hubby, but what I want to talk about was his side dish - my main dish. Oven roasted potatoes and baby carrots.
It's easy to do - I like to use all sorts of root veggies when I do this. Heat the oven to aboaut 425. Liberally douse a baking pan (13/9 or cake pan size) with olive oil. Peel and cut your potatoes, add baby carrots (or carrot pieces) and any other root veggie you like - and maybe even some mushrooms. Crush some dried thyme in your hands, apply liberally, as well as some fresh black pepper. Douse with a bit more olive oil (if there's not enough) to coat all the veggies with olive oil and herbs. Bake till brown and done - about 30-45 minutes. Yummy!

If you want to add a little protein to this (and make it vegetarian rather than vegan), you can add a little grated cheddar cheese to the top during the last 5-10 minutes.
