Lemon Chive Roasted Vegetables – a recipe for potatoes, onions and carrots roasted with lemon and herbs.
Happy Memorial Day to all! Unfortunately, ours here looks like it is going to be quite rainy, but I’m enjoying my day off nonetheless.
I’m going to make this quick because I am in the kitchen working on my Daring Baker Challenge (at the last minute again!!) and I’m sure most people aren’t glued to the computer today anyway.
This side dish was on our Easter table this year. I am a fan of roasted vegetables, and this gave it a little kick that was delicious. I couldn’t find any fingerling potatoes, but I just used all red potatoes. So next time you are craving some roasted veggies, try out this spring version!!

Yummy! I was going to make a fish pie with potato topping for dinner but may do the fish differently and serve with this.
We had a rainy bank holiday weekend in England too.
