Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry potatoes and carrots, cut into 2-inch (5cm) pieces. Place
potatoes, carrots, shallots and half of the minced garlic in a bowl and drizzle with 1 Tbsp
(15g) olive oil. Toss oil and vegetables, add marjoram and mix well.
Spray two baking sheets with vegetable oil spray, divide and layer
vegetables evenly on sheets. Place baking sheets in oven for 30 minutes.
While potatoes and carrots are cooking. Wash and dry remaining
vegetables. Cut red pepper and zucchini into 2-inch (5cm) pieces. Place vegetables in a bowl
with clean mushrooms and drizzle with 1 Tbsp (15mL) olive oil, add remaining garlic and toss
gently until blended.
After potatoes and carrots have cooked for 30 minutes, remove from
oven. Divide the green bean vegetable mixture between the two baking sheets. Mix vegetables
with potatoes and carrots, forming a single layer on the baking sheet. Return to oven for
another 15–20 minutes, cooking until tender.
