Cooking Method: Roasting

Sausage, Apple, and Squash Sheet-Pan Supper with Fragrant Herb Oil

There is nothing easier than dinner on a sheet-pan. I love cooking with minimal effort. This Sausage, Apple, and Squash Sheet-Pan Supper with Fragrant Herb Oil is a perfect meal this time of year. You can buy butternut squash already cut up to make it even easier and you can use any combination of herbs. Also, you can use sweet Italian sausage or the spicy version. You can probably guess which one I used! I think the spicy sausage and the sweet butternut squash and apple is a winning combination of flavors.

Melting Sweet Potatoes

These Melting Sweet Potatoes are incredibly soft and on the inside and crispy on the outside. You roast them in a very hot oven using a metal pan, a glass pan will shatter in the oven at a high temperature, and then towards the end of roasting, you add either chicken or vegetable stock. This is the key to making melting potatoes. You can do this with Yukon gold potatoes as well. You first toss the potatoes in a mixture of melted butter with fresh sage and thyme.

Moonblush Tomatoes

This recipe is from Nigella Lawson's, Nigella Express cookbook. You simply halve the cherry tomatoes, sprinkle them with dried thyme, a little flaky salt, a pinch of sugar and a drizzle of olive oil. Then you put the sheet pan in a hot oven and turn off the heat immediately, leaving the tomatoes to cook in the residual heat overnight, hence “moonblush”. You can use them in salads, with charcuterie, on pasta or any way you like.

Honey & Harissa Roasted Carrots

Our good friend Chris came for dinner last week and brought these Honey & Harissa Roasted Carrots. They were so good. The recipe is from Rachel Ray Magazine. They are meant to be sitting on top of Greek Yogurt. It also has a sprinkling of dukkah, which is an Egyptian condiment consisting of a mixture of herbs, nuts, and spices. It is typically used as a dip with bread or fresh vegetables. They do sell dukkah already made at Trader Joe's.

Lemonade Salmon

This Lemonade Salmon is fabulous. It's vibrantly flavorful, tangy and easy to prepare. I even used some of the marinade (not the salmon-soaked marinade!) and steamed some broccoli in it. My husband loved it and I will be making this again.

Lemon Roasted Fingerlings and Brussels Sprouts

The key to roasting vegetables together on a sheet pan is to make sure they cook at the same time. These Lemon Roasted Fingerlings and Brussels Sprouts do just that. The vegetables are tossed in a wonderfully, tangy sauce of lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic and honey. I love things that take little effort but have big results.

Sumac Spice-Crusted Chicken and Green Bean Salad with Spiced Yogurt Dressing

This Sumac Spice-Crusted Chicken and Green Bean Salad with Spiced Yogurt Dressing is a great salad that you can make in the morning. 

Sumac is a red spice is harvested from shrubs in the Middle East and traditionally sun-dried. It is tart, acidic and tastes of lemons. This dark red powdered berry had a nutty texture with a tart, sour lemon with a slightly fermented taste. Sumac can be used as you would lemon and salt for chicken, fish, vegetables or hummus.
