roasted vegetable cups

October 15, 2014 • Nancy Wolfson-Moche

These can be as simple (made with as few as one or two vegetables) or as complex as you choose. They are a great diy breakfast project for school-age children. In the morning, I present them with the veggies all cut so they can just assemble their cups. While they roast in the oven, the kids munch on raw apples and grapes, which, by the way, are also delicious roasted with the veggies right in the cups.

Chop the chive into tiny pieces,

and tear the parsley into leaflets.  Place each wonton wrapper in a muffin cup, folding it to form an edible container or cup.

Arrange the cut vegetables in each cup.

You can vary the contents of each cup, or make them all the same. Well, similar. Like the vegetables themselves, no two of these cups will ever be exactly the same.

Top with chives and parsley.

Drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil; sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.  IMG_9973

Place muffin tin in preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until tops of veggies are lightly browned.

Icing on the Cake: Testimonials

Just a quick note to say K is really enjoying your class. He was excited to make the sushi and the falafel the previous week was awesome- we have been trying (unsuccessfully) for years to get him to eat falafel and so hearing him say he likes falafel now was a breakthrough for us!  Thanks!
