Vegetarian Wednesday: Healthy Baked Veggie Platter with homemade Hummus

My husband and I try to go vegetarian at least twice a week. This platter is super filling and gorgeous with all its colors - perfect to serve as an appetizer at a party as well.

Healthy Veggie Platter with Homemade Hummus

Use whatever vegetables you have at home, I used:

Red onion (onions will done faster than the other vegetables so remove from the oven when soft)
Green beans
Carrots
Peppers
Brussels sprouts
Sweet potato
Red potatoes
Salt and Pepper
Garlic Parsley (optional) 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Cut up the vegetables (the smaller you cut them the faster they will get done).
3. Line a baking pan with parchment paper, put all the vegetables (except for the green beans) in the pan and spray with some olive oil.
4. Season with salt and pepper, I used garlic parsley as well.
5. Bake in the oven until soft (about 45min to an hour).
6.  Boil the green beans for a few minutes until soft (about 5 minutes), rinse and set aside.
7. Place all the vegetables on a pretty platter.
8. Serve with the hummus below!
