Delicious and Simple Restaurant-Style Chinese Roasted Vegetables

Ingredients:

-1/3c - 1/2c oil (lots of oil is good, and used in Chinese cuisine, the more the better - can be drained afterwards)

-1 tbsp cooking sherry

-1 tbsp powdered sugar

-1.25 tbsp soy sauce (a good soy sauce is essential for optimal flavor potential - I use 'Silver Swan Special Soy Sauce' - can be found here - https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00FMOXYM0/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new)

-1/4tbsp honey

-1/4tsp pepper

-carrots, zuchini, green beans, broccoli (cut carrots a bit sideways so they're long and thin, so they cook faster. cut zuchini in thick pieces because it cooks quickly and shrinks)

Instructions:

Mix oil, sherry, sugar, soy sauce, honey, pepper together in separate mixing bowl.

Put veggies onto flat baking sheet, the thinner the layer of vegetables the better.

Cook on 350-375F for 35-45 minutes. Stir veggies to re-soak in oil every 10 minutes.

Cook until broccoli has a bit of a black char on it. To get the char, you might have to cook on middle rack close to elements. Char is not necessary but gives it extra flavor.

Optional: cook some baked potatoes with veggies and save for later-- marinade the baked potatoes in an airtight plastic bag in the leftover oil over night and roast in oven next morning for breakfast.

Optional: add corn starch to leftover oil and make an asian gravy/sauce
