Green + Orange + Yellow = Lunch


  Today's lunch was inspired by the what-do-I-need-to-use-up game.  I had brussels sprouts in the fridge that were about to go bad so I started there.  I added a lonely sweet potato that was hanging out on the kitchen counter by himself.  Then I wanted more color so I decided a can of corn would go well with the mix.  It turned into this lovely plate of vegetables for a easy weekday lunch.




  • Chop brussels sprouts and sweet potato into roughly equal sizes.  
  • Toss with EVOO, S&P, onion powder and garlic salt.  
  • Roast in a 375 degree oven for about 25 minutes.  
  • Then turn broiler to high for about 3 minutes to crisp up the edges and get that yummy brown color.

Meanwhile....
  • A drizzle of EVOO into a pan on the stove top.  
  • Add one can of corn, season with S&P.
  • I added one clove of garlic.
  • Warm through and add a bit of fresh basil at the end.


You can serve it just like this but on this day I happened to have some leftover honey Dijon sauce I had made a couple nights before so I added that to the plate as well.
