Oven Roasted Vegetables with BACON
Watch me make these roasted vegetables with bacon from start to finish!
There is something about vegetables roasting in the oven that puts me in a good mood. I know, I’m weird. Â I love everything about oven-roasted vegetables, from the smokey, slightly sweet, nutty taste to that rustic appearance. They make me happy and don’t even go throwing in a roasted chicken because then I get super happy! Ahhh the aromas!! Fall is HERE folks!!! (I don’t know where that came from, just felt like typing it.)
These oven-roasted vegetables are super yummy because they have bacon (cue that dog bacon Beggin Strips commercial that I can’t get out of my head) and fresh garlic in the mix! You totally can’t go wrong with bacon. Oh and there’s butter in there too. Mmm butter! Â Don’t be mad. Butter makes it better baby. I only use butter and bacon in my roasted veggies on special occasions so don’t go sending me an email about how I’m messing up a healthy dish.
Today really wasn’t a special occasion just wanted to show you guys how I make my super easy and delicious oven-roasted vegetables with bacon. Â (side note) I totally love cooking for y’all, you guys give me the best excuse to make all kinda naughty stuff and get away with it. I love you all…just in case I haven’t said that enough lately.
Ok back to bacon and roasted vegetables. Yes, they are the bomb and way too easy to make. Â The vegetables do take on a slight smokiness from the bacon, which I love by the way, but their natural flavor isn’t covered up, which I really love by the way. In this recipe, I used a few of my favorite in-season vegetables like sweet potato, russet potato, broccoli, baby carrots, green pepper, red pepper, and red onions. Use a variety of your favorites and make sure that it’s colorful! It makes it prettier!!
Don’t be shy with that bacon either! If I had more than just 5 pieces I would have added more in there! I like bacon with every bite! So yum!! The fresh garlic and butter just make everything sing so don’t skip that either!!
