Veggie Oven Lovin'

Healthy Hump Day Recipe

My parents came up to visit a couple of weekends ago (Remember that crazy Oreo dish I made for them? If you missed it, check it out here!), and Seth wanted to use his new smoker to make food for dinner. He has already been dubbed the Grill Master, but he wanted to add Smoke Master to his areas of expertise. He had made smoked wings a couple of weeks prior, but he decided to go straight to the mack-daddy of smoking meats and make ribs. We were all so excited while he was preparing them. They looked so good, and the spices smelled amazing. I decided to make some vegetables to go with it, but I didn't want to grill them since I wanted the smoked flavor to be the star of the show. I ended up baking them in the oven, and WOW were they good. The got so juicy and tender, and I used the spices that Seth used for the ribs for a nice complement. There really is not a whole lot to the recipe which makes throwing this together even better. It was the perfect side to Seth's amazing barbecue ribs!
