Best Marinated Roasted Vegetables Recipes

MARINATED ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients except for the vegetables in a large mixing bowl to make the marinade. Pour in the vegetables and stir them around so that they get initially coated with marinade.
• Marinate the vegetables in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, stirring once or twice.
• Place the vegetables, with all the marinade, in an 9" x 13" (or larger) casserole dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake on the middle rack in a pre-heated oven at 375-degrees F. for 45 minutes.
• Serve hot.
• TIP: Sometimes the potatoes and carrots I use in this recipe are a little flaccid -- so, to fix that problem, all I do is soak them in really cold water (after they're peeled) for about 2 hours before marinating and they crisp right up!

MARSALA-MARINATED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Prepare the marinade: Finely chop 2 shallots. In a large bowl, stir the chopped shallots with 3 tablespoons mustard, the honey, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in the Marsala then 1/4 cup oil. Refrigerate 1/4 cup marinade to use for the vinaigrette.
• Place the chicken and oregano sprigs in a large zip-top bag and add the remaining marinade. Seal the bag and turn it over a few times before laying it flat in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or, ideally, overnight, turning it once or twice while it marinates. (If you're in a rush, marinating it at room temperature for 30 minutes is a quick shortcut.)
• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Peel the carrots, halve them lengthwise if thick, then chop them into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Clean the mushrooms and remove any tough stems. Quarter the whole shallots from root to stem and discard the skins. Place the prepped vegetables in a large bowl and toss with 3 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place each piece skin side up on a large rimmed sheet pan. Scatter the vegetables around the chicken, arranging them in an even layer. Discard the marinade in the zip-top bag.
• Roast until the chicken is cooked through and its juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter to rest. Stir the remaining vegetables and return the pan to the oven to cook until the carrots are starting to brown and become tender, the mushrooms are golden and beginning to crisp, and the shallots have caramelized, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette: Whisk the refrigerated 1/4 cup marinade with the vinegar, then the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Adjust the flavor as desired, adding more olive oil for a less acidic vinaigrette or more Dijon for something a bit sharper and creamier.
• Transfer the vegetables to the serving platter, scattering them around the chicken, and pour any cooking juices left in the pan over the top. Garnish with the chopped oregano. Toss salad greens with just enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad to taste and serve with the chicken and vegetables.

ROASTED AND MARINATED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Prep:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Depending on the size and type of the root, peel it or not. Peel the dirty, gnarly beets. Sweet potato skins soften up when roasting, so leave those on. For thinner-skinned turnips, a good scrubbing will do.
• Cut the roots into chunks; I like them about 1 inch thick and 2 inches long. Cut the round roots through the equator and chunk them up from there. For sweet potatoes, cut them in half lengthwise, then again lengthwise, and then into 2-inch pieces. If you can find baby sweet potatoes, just cut those in half. There's no wrong way to do this; just keep all of your vegetables similar in size and shape so they cook evenly.
• Roast:
• Preheat an ovenproof sauté pan large enough to hold the root vegetables in one layer over medium-high heat. Add the rice bran, grapeseed, or olive oil and continue heating until the oil shimmers and is thinking about smoking. Carefully add the roots and let them caramelize on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Check to make sure they're not burning-lower the heat if they're scorching in some spots. Give the roots a toss in the pan (tongs work, too) and season with the salt, sugar, and pepper. Add the thyme and rosemary and transfer the pan to the oven.
• Cook until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender. Start checking with the tip of a sharp knife after 6 minutes and continue to check every 5 minutes. They're done when they're easily pierced all the way through. The beets will cook in about 30 minutes, the turnips in just 10 minutes or less, and the sweet potatoes in 20 minutes. This will depend on the age, variety, and cut of the vegetable, so use your senses (including common sense) and check often.
• Marinate:
• Spoon the roasted vegetables into a large bowl. Discard the herb stems. Add the orange juice or vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, and chile flakes. Toss until well coated.
• Serve:
• You can serve at this point, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

MARINATED SKIRT STEAK WITH PAN-ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Reserve 2 Tbsp. dressing. Mix remaining dressing with barbecue sauce and Sriracha sauce. Pour half over meat in shallow dish; turn to evenly coat all pieces. Refrigerate 15 min.
• Meanwhile, cook cauliflower, onions and peppers in large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 5 min or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Spoon into large bowl. Add kale and reserved dressing; toss lightly.
• Remove meat from marinade; discard marinade. Add meat to skillet; cook 4 to 5 min. or each side or until medium doneness. Transfer to cutting board; tent with foil. Let stand 5 min.
• Cut meat across the grain into thin slices. Serve with vegetables and remaining dressing mixture.

GINGER MARINATED ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine fresh ginger, garlic, pasta seasoning, salt, pepper and olive oil to make a marinade. Slice vegetables into 1/2-inch thick slices and add to marinade. Toss to coat well with marinade and let sit for 1 hour. Cook on a hot grill long enough so vegetables are grill marked and softened on the inside, about 6 to 10 minutes on each side. Individual types of vegetables may vary as to cooking time. Remove, arrange on platter and serve.

PESTO MARINATED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a glass baking dish combine pesto and lime juice. Add the chicken and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
• With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 400°F.
• On a baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes, potato and onions with 2 T olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are al dente, about 20 minute Keep warm.
• In a skillet, brown the chicken on each side in the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the baking sheet beside the vegetables, and bake until the chicken is cooked through.
• Vinaigrette:.
• Meanwhile, combine all the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the chicken and serve with the vegetables.
• Sprinkle with pine nuts and basil leaves and drizzle with vinaigrette.
