Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes, Asparagus, and Green Beans
I’ll be honest with you. I am ready for fall weather and cooking! There is something so wonderful about a roaring fire on a rainy day while dinner is roasting in the oven. Even though it was warm outside today, I decided to roast our dinner which consisted of chicken, potatoes, and these veggies. Our entire dinner was made by what I had on hand so I didn’t have to go to the store – I love that! We had some beautiful heirloom tomatoes that I picked up from the farmer’s market this weekend, some asparagus that needed using up, a 1/4 of an onion, and fresh green beans from my friend’s garden. After tossing them in some good olive oil I seasoned them with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Once they were nearly roasted, I tossed them with a bit of minced garlic and continued to roast for a few minutes to prevent the garlic from burning. The green beans, asparagus, and onion were crisp-tender while the tomatoes were sweet and juicy. My kids drizzled balsamic vinegar on top to make them extra tasty. These veggies were delicious and disappeared quickly.

A great meal from just what’s on hand is the best of all! Love your veggie mix!
I love fall, but am definitely not ready to give up the last month of summer! Too me this is still the perfect time to have this wonderful medley of veggies. Gosh the color is just lovely.
A very colorful side dish
This is a great idea for a side that I can make on the grill after I finish cooking a roast and it is resting. Thanks for the inspiration. Now to just come up with that roast….
I definitely have mixed feelings about summer being over and fall coming…but if it involves big trays of roasted veggies, I guess I can be okay with it. 😛
