For the Chipotle Ranch Sauce:
-
From a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, mince a part of 1 pepper to have 1 teaspoon. Add into a small bowl, along with 1 teaspoon of adobo sauce and the other ingredients: buttermilk, sour cream, chives, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. -
Use a fork to combine ingredients together. Taste, adding more chipotle depending on taste. -
When the vegetables are cooked, drizzle sauce over them. Serve.
For the Roasted Vegetables:
-
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. -
Onto a large foil-lined rimmed baking sheet (or two medium ones), add all the vegetables. Drizzle with oil, salt, and pepper; use a spatula to gently toss vegetables to coat. -
Roast vegetables in oven until fully cooked, around 30 minutes, shaking the pan once midway through the cooking process.
Cooking Tip: There will be a lot of leftover canned chipotle pepper. Consider pureeing the entire can and portion into a few Ziploc bags in the freezer to bring out when in need.
Keep it Healthy: Low-fat buttermilk is a great tool in your healthy cooking toolkit. Add to mashed potatoes in place of regular milk for a low-fat and tangy addition.
Tip: This chipotle ranch sauce doesn't just bring a wow factor to roasted veggies. It's also great with meat like chicken breasts, pork chops, or even fish like tilapia fillets.
