Parchment-Roasted Vegetables

4.1

(8)

The trick: Roast on paper.
Cooking on parchment, a nearly indestructible cooking paper, removes the need for most of the oil. The paper's waxy surface keeps food from sticking. "We can replicate a pan-fried finish by roasting anything on parchment," says Steve Pernetti, executive chef at Cal-a-Vie in Vista, California. Pernetti's Parchment-Roasted Vegetables offer C, A, folate, potassium, and calcium.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 side-dish servings

Ingredients

2 Japanese or Asian eggplants
2 carrots
1 red onion
1 large bulb fennel
1 green zucchini
1 yellow zucchini or crookneck squash
2 red bell peppers, cored and seeded
2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 tbsp chopped fresh sage
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1 sheet parchment (in paper-goods aisle)

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash and thinly slice vegetables (use a mandoline for more uniform results). Place in a large bowl and toss vegetables with remaining ingredients. Cut a sheet of parchment the size of a cookie sheet and line pan with it. Spread vegetables without overlapping; season with salt and pepper. Bake until vegetable edges are golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Eggplant Roasted in Satay Sauce
Among the top tier of sauces is Indonesian satay sauce, because it is the embodiment of joy and life. In fact, this sauce is also trustworthy and highly respectful of whatever it comes into contact with—perhaps it is, in fact, the perfect friend?
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Ratatouille
A one-pot celebration of summer vegetables.
Sweet-and-Spicy Squash With Scallion Oil
Roasted squash loses its bland reputation and turns glossy and fragrant thanks to a gingery miso-glaze and a quick scallion oil.

This Caribbean classic, made with beets for a magenta hue, looks as striking as it tastes.
Crispy Oyster Mushroom Skewers With Bok Choy Salad
Oyster mushrooms are a strong all-rounder in the kitchen, seeming to straddle both plant and meat worlds in what they look and taste like when cooked. Here they’re coated in a marinade my mother used to use when cooking Chinese food at home—honey, soy, garlic and ginger—and roasted until golden, crisp, and juicy.
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
A good garlic mashed potato recipe can upstage even the flashiest of mains. Adding just a few cloves of garlic turns what could be a simple side dish into something with undeniable charm.
