Recipe for Roasted Vegetables

Seems obvious: Roasted Vegetables - what can be so hard about that? But I have found a formula that has worked great and I don't want to forget it so here it is:

Ingredients:
- one red pepper, diced into 1" chunks
- one orange pepper, diced into 1" chunks
- one yellow pepper, diced into 1" chunks
- one purple (could be white) onion, diced into 1" chunks

Method:
- preheat oven to 450
- line a baking tray with parchment paper
- spread all the diced veg out on the pan all mixed up
- put in upper half of oven
- turn at about 10 minutes
- will be done at about 20 minutes, start checking at 20, may need a few extra minutes for onions to caramilise, don't wait for crunch, just tender and juicy

Uses:
- these are wonderful mixed into a tomato pasta sauce, served hot as a vegetable side-dish, in any saucy dish to bulk it up, cold on a salad, in an omelette, added to a wrap with a meat or cheese... endless possibilities. They are really juicy so can go in a wrap just with lettuce or on their own.

Possible Alternatives / Things to Try:
Adding mushrooms, zucchini/courgette, squash, cabbage (roasted purple cabbage is nice)
