Instructions

Prepare the Veggie Medley:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Mix the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine spinach, broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes, zucchini, asparagus, onion, garlic, shiitake mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, and peas.

3. Season and Coat: Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure all veggies are evenly coated.

4. Arrange for Baking: Transfer the seasoned veggie mix onto a large baking sheet, spreading them out evenly.

5. Bake the Veggies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

6. Add Parmesan: Remove the veggies, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top, and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.

Prepare the Herbed Buttermilk Cornbread:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and herbs.

2. Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the dry ingredients, then pour in buttermilk and melted butter. Mix until just combined.

3. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

4. Bake the Cornbread: Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared dish and place in the oven (400°F / 200°C) alongside the veggie medley for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
