Farmers’ market season has arrived, which means tons of seasonal produce at amazing prices. Even if you don’t have a farmers’ market near you, you can find more variety at your local grocery store this time of year.
Spring vegetables lend themselves really well to simple dishes like these roasted vegetables. It’s really easy and incredibly versatile – which is good since finals are here and you want something both nutritious and simple.
