Vegetable Medley

Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Method

Vegetable Medley

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and chop the carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Toss with Oil and Seasonings

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Roast the Vegetables

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the vegetable mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

Creamy Mashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  2. 5

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and enjoy alongside the roasted vegetable medley.
