Roasted veggie enchiladas
Oh my gosh, can I just tell you how dang good these are? I enjoyed them so much I may just make them for lunch tomorrow. T
hey were good enough that I was ticked at my kids for leaving some on their plates. I do NOT like eating off other people’s plates. I NEVER share drinks. I am not sure why, but I am a little irrational about it. It is like I have a germ phobia, but really, I don’t. But frankly, this recipe was so good, I actually finished off my kid’s dinner because I couldn’t bear to see it go to waste.
So what is the secret behind these fantastic enchiladas? Truthfully, the roasted vegetables. I mean, I really like veggies. I like them raw, stir fried, steamed, baked, grilled, but I can’t get enough of ROASTED. (I sort of felt like Dr. Seuss here, I can eat them in a box, I can eat them with a fox, I can eat them here or there, I can eat them anywhere!) If you have picky eaters, or aren’t a big vegetable eater, try roasting your veggies. Yum! Okay, time for the recipe.
Remember this recipe is great because it can be adjusted as you see fit, use your favorite veggies, favorite cheese, favorite enchilada sauce. Also, you can make it really easy by using a canned enchilada sauce, or you can make your own. I prefer homemade because homemade is always better. It means less preservatives, and more control. Here’s my favorite enchilada sauce.
How to Make Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas
- Start by cutting up all those amazing vegetables.
- Then toss them with the olive oil and parmesan cheese. If you want these to be vegan, leave off the cheese, and just season.
- Stick them on a roasting pan, and roast. Stir every ten minutes (unless you forget like I did, then don’t worry about it).
- When they get done, start assembling your enchiladas. Put some enchilada sauce in the bottom of the pan, and put your rolled enchiladas in.
- Then bake, top, and serve! And be prepared to eat WAY too much. Yummy!
Because I used SOOOO many different vegetables for these, I decided to make some freezer meals because there was a HUGE bowl of veggies. It took two whole jelly-roll pans to roast them.
