Ofengemuese (Oven-Roasted Root Vegetables)
Ofengemuese (Oven-Roasted Root Vegetables) is German home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre and the cooked vegetable. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 3 carrots, cut into chunks
- 2 parsnips, cut into chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Cut the carrots, parsnips, bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into similar sized chunks and spread them over a large baking sheet.
- Drizzle with the olive oil, scatter the thyme, salt, and pepper over the top, and toss well so everything is coated.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned at the edges.
- Serve hot straight from the sheet; a genuine everyday vegetable plate in German kitchens, especially alongside a piece of grilled meat or fish.
