It is hard to think of a more satisfying side dish for your next dinner than these jewel-like roasted vegetables. Roasting brings out the sweetness of the potatoes and onions and makes them a warm fall and winter go-to side. With only 10 minutes of active prep, you can create your remaining dishes while the oven does the heavy lifting. Want a smokier flavor? Try grilling the vegetables instead. Add a kick of spice to the dish by substituting 1/4 teaspoon of chipotle chile flakes for the chili powder. Serve these gems alongside pork tenderloin, grilled steaks or roasted chicken. These versatile vegetables will be a year-round favorite.
