Sugar Turned On Me

A lot of the things my wife makes start off with the following conversation:

Her: “Hey, I’d like to make [dish name]. I’m thinking put [tasty ingredient 1], [tasty ingredient 3], [tasty ingredient 3], etc. and then cooking it by [simple preparation]. What do you think?”
Me: (not quite being able to picture it). Sounds great.

What then follows is always a flavorful and simple meal which often I end up asking for again. This was also the sort of conversation that preceded the creation of Roasted Chunky Love:

1 lb. Turkey Kielbasa
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Bell Pepper
1 Medium Onion
1 Large Sweet Potato or 3 Large carrots
2 Tbs. of Olive Oil
Seasoning (Salt and pepper at least)

1. Peel and chop the onion into large petals. Peel and chop the sweet potato (or carrot) into large chunks. Seed and chop the peppers into… wait for it… large chunks.
2. Coat all the chopped bits in the olive oil, adding seasonings.
3. Place on a roasting rack and put it in the oven on 350 for about 25-30 min or until the potato chunks are tender.
4. Remove from the oven, let cool and serve. Makes about 4 portions.

Simple, no?

This dish is great for greeting fall and also is quite pretty in presentation. The turkey kielbasa  keeps down the fat content. This dish has a lot of Vitamin C in it and is pretty low in carbs. For a little more fiber, just leave the skins on the potatoes.

Enjoy.
