How many dishes can you cook on autopilot?
I’m talking about easy meals that your hands can manage on their own, leaving your mind free to ruminate about your hard day at work or help your kids memorize their multiplication tables.
Or to make sure you enjoy the long weekend without worrying too much about what to cook.
These roasted vegetables are an easy, non-fussy way to cook vegetables without spending too much time in the kitchen.

Oil (olive, coconut or grapeseed)
Salt and pepper
Fried eggs and/or plain yoghurt
Fresh herbs, torn or chopped
Method
Heat oven to 220 degrees. Toss vegetables with oil, salt and pepper.
