As the holiday season encroaches on our fall schedule, I’ve found myself often making sheets of roasted vegetables for dinner. I love this simple process of cutting up several types of vegetables and allowing a hot oven and time to produce tender, slightly caramelized vegetables.

You only need two ingredients (or three for the cream version), with no sugar syrup needed. It’s a lovely and beautiful drink! I especially like it with a drizzle of coconut milk (my husband uses cream or…
