Coal Roasted Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking, or build a fire and burn down wood until only red coals and gray ash remain.
• Place vegetables directly on coals and cook, turning occasionally, until blackened all over and tender enough to be pierced with the tip of a knife with some resistance, about 15 minutes for carrots and peppers, 25 minutes for beets and onions. Place peppers in a bowl, cover, and let stand 10 minutes. Let other vegetables cool slightly while peppers steam.
• Rub peppers and other vegetables with your hands or paper towels to remove as much of charred exteriors as possible. Halve carrots lengthwise, and slice peppers into strips, discarding stems and seeds; slice beets and onions into wedges. Drizzle with oil, season with flaky salt, and serve with dressing.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel vegetables (optional) and cut them into 1- to 2-inch chunks, put them in a baking pan and toss with the oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
• Put the vegetables in the oven and roast without stirring for 20 minutes, then check. If they look dry and are sticking to the pan, drizzle with more oil. Continue roasting, stirring or turning the vegetables once, for another 20 minutes or so. Stir in the herbs, then return the pan to the oven for another 20 to 40 minutes, until crisp. Remove from the oven. Garnish with rosemary or thyme.
