We generally followed this recipe: https://dinnerthendessert.com/crispy-roasted-cabbage-steaks/ Our modifications: first, preheat oven to 425. Second, because we cut the cabbage into quarters, our slices fell apart. But the roasted cabbage was still delicious. (Dec. 2020)

Details here: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/12862-pasta-salad-with-roasted-eggplant-chile-and-mint?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share Our modifications: first, to roast the diced eggplant, we increased the temp to 425, but at the 15 min mark, we increased to 450; this is because the eggplant pieces may have been too crowded on two sheets that they started steaming.

We made this recipe: https://piglettedc.tumblr.com/post/188332589976/spinach-lasagna-we-tried-this-mark-bittman-nyt Instead of 1 ¼ lb fresh spinach, we used 1 lb Brussels sprouts that we had trimmed, quartered, and roasted. We generally followed this Brussels sprout recipe but omitted salt and black pepper: https://piglettedc.tumblr.com/post/180053950436/oven-roasted-brussel-sprouts-we-followed-this While we love Brussels sprouts, we found the flavor overpowered the overall dish. A neutral vegetable… Continue reading Lasagna with roasted Brussels sprouts
