Looking for a quick and easy side dish that only needs minimal ingredients and minutes to prep? Then this recipe is the one for you. Just toss in a few ingredients, toss and pop it in the oven.
Throw in some bright color veggies and you'll have a gorgeous dish to serve at your next holiday meal! But what sets this dish apart from the typical roasted veggie side dish? Is the addition of delicious California Dates. Popping these babies into the oven gives them a delicious caramelized crust that offers a nice sweetness to accompany those crunchy vegetables.
Did you know that dates are an excellent source of vitamin C and D? These vitamins helps with the elasticity of your skin, keeping your skin nice and smooth. If this doesn't get you popping more dates into your mouth as a snack or adding them to your daily dishes, I don't know what will!
