Roasted Vegetables
Roasted vegetables are a delicious, healthy, and easy side dish that goes great with Cajun Chicken Pasta. The key to perfect roasted vegetables is to make sure they’re all the same size so they cook evenly. To roast them, simply follow these easy steps:
- Slice the veggies into bite-sized pieces.
- Toss with olive oil and your favorite seasoning blend.
- Spread them out on a baking sheet.
- Roast in a preheated oven until tender and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Roasted vegetables are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they add color, texture, and crunch to any meal. Plus, they’re extremely versatile – you can roast almost any vegetable you can think of.
Some of my favorites include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and zucchini. And while roasted vegetables are delicious on their own, they’re also great tossed with pasta or rice or served as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
Tomato Salad
Cajun Chicken Pasta is a great dish for a weeknight meal. It is hearty and filling but can be lightened up with a salad on the side. Tomato salad is the perfect complement to this dish. The acidity of the tomatoes helps to cut through the richness of the chicken and pasta, while the freshness of the herbs brightens up the flavors.
The best tomato salads have a mix of different types of tomatoes, so feel free to use whatever you have on hand. For a heartier salad, add some chopped onions or croutons. If you want to lighten things up even further, use balsamic vinegar instead of oil in the dressing.
