Mixed Veggies, Roasted Brussel Sprouts... OOOoooo So Good!

Tonight's dinner was a little hope a lot praying and a whole bunch of trust in cooking experience. I know your thinking oh no this can't be good but in fact it was delicious. Scale of 1-10 a solid 8.

So what is it you ask, well I came home from working out at the gym feeling like I have a healthy start on the evening and wanted to keep that going. So I took a look in the fridge, found the following: 

2 large porta bella mushrooms
1 medium yellow squash
1 small to medium sweet potato
1 head of cauliflower
1/2 medium or 1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
1ear of corn
1 cup sweet pea pods
3 Mexican red peppers
1 pound brussel sprouts
1/2 cup vegitable stock

What I did, take the brussel sprouts cut the ends off each then cut each sprout  in half. Place into a deep roasting pan and drizzle with EVOO and balsamic vinagor then place in a preheated oven at 350 for about 20 min. When you take them out you can sprinkle garlic salt over them and serve. If you've never liked brussel sprouts your not alone, when not cooked correctly these can be repulsive. THIS recipe is my go to recipe each mouthfull of sprouts is delectable! You won't be disapointed!

For the rest start with the sweet potato and cauliflower as these are going to take the longest. Peal the sweet potato then cut into cubes, place into a wok with EVOO and cook on high heat. Cut the cauliflower down into shoots and place these into the wok.Cook for about 10 min on high heat then add the vegtable stock. The stock will help soften these vegtables.

 For the yellow squash cut it into cubs and toss in the wok let all the veggies now in the wok cook for about 5 min while you prep the onions and garlic. For the onions cut into pices, mince the garlic. 

Once the first set of veggies start to brown and the sweet potatos are tender toss in the onions and garlic. Once the onions start to become translucant toss in the mushrooms and sweet pea pods, Mexican red peppers and corn. simmer for about 10 min. 

This was an amazing grouping of veggies the peppers added flavor but not much heat, if you want it to be hotter or spicer then you can add more to your liking.
