Vegan Eats: Roasted Baby Potatoes & Crimini Mushrooms with Lemon Vinaigrette Arugula


This is a great meal to cook when you really don't feel like cooking. The prep time is minimal and it cooks in less than 30 mins. Plus, it looks pretty!

The Details:
1 bag of baby potatoes, Fresh & Easy $2.99
1carton of sliced crimini mushrooms, Fresh & Easy $2.99
 Bag of lemons (4), Fresh & Easy, $2.99 (?)
1 bag of arugula, Trader Joe's $2.29
Pantry Staples: Kosher salt, black pepper, extra virgin olive oil, dried rosemary, apple cider vinegar


This is not a "recipe" that needs to be followed exactly to yield tasty results. Adjust accordingly to servings. This prep is for 4 servings.

- Preheat oven to 325 F

- Toss half of the bag of potatoes and half the carton of mushrooms in bowl with salt, pepper, dried rosemary, and olive oil. Just enough to evenly coat the veggies.

-Place on top rack of oven, uncovered, for around 30 mins depending on your oven's settings. I have an electric that burns everything. You may need to roast the veggies for less time. Please note that Mushrooms cook faster than potatoes.  Potatoes are done when you can easily stick a fork in them.

- Mix two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and half a lemon with a sprinkle of  kosher salt and black pepper. Whisk in extra virgin olive oil.  Adjust seasonings according to your taste.

- Rinse half of the bagged  arugula to refresh. Pour half in a bowl. Lightly drizzle vinaigrette mixture over arugula.

- If you have not already done so, remove veggies from oven. Let chill for about 5 mins before moving to serving platter.

- Place arugula on platter and top with  roasted veggies.


ENJOY!

Estimated cost of meal: $5.00 for 2 hungry people or 4 picky eaters.
