ROASTED POTATOES, CARROTS AND LEEKS
This is a combination of several recipes I've seen on food.com and on other sites. This can be very versatile, using whatever type of potatoes and veggies you have on hand, IMO, all veggies taste best when they are roasted. :-) You can also change or add whatever herbs and spices you prefer or happen have on hand and adjust amounts according to your taste. I used dry herbs but I'm sure fresh would be even better.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Trim and discard dark-green parts from leeks. Halve leeks lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Rinse well in cold water to remove grit.

- Spread in a single layer; roast until vegetables are golden and tender, tossing halfway through, about 40 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: For the best results, select firm and evenly sized potatoes, carrots, and leeks. Avoid vegetables that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Cut the vegetables evenly: Cut the potatoes, carrots, and leeks into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. This will help ensure that all the vegetables are tender and flavorful.
- Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings: Before roasting, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: Roasting the vegetables at a high temperature will help them caramelize and develop a delicious crispy exterior. Aim for a temperature between 425°F and 450°F.
- Stir the vegetables occasionally: During roasting, stir the vegetables occasionally to ensure that they cook evenly. This will also help prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender: The vegetables are done roasting when they are tender when pierced with a fork. Depending on the size of the vegetables, this can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes.
