Easy Oven-Simmered Potatoes, Carrots and Onions

Wildflour's Note:

This is a very easy way to make the most delicious, tender veggies! The baby carrots, onions and butter make everything taste almost sweet! Very good!

• Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 cups chicken bouillon , more if needed
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• ½ teaspoon italian seasoning
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder , more if desired
• 4 -6 red potatoes , unpeeled (quartered or cut into small chunks)
• 1 sweet onion , chopped
• 1 ½-2 cups baby carrots (or 1/2 small bag)

Directions:

1. In large baking dish with lid, place all ingredients.*There should be enough liquid to just cover.
2. Cover and bake in 350ºF oven for about 2 hours or til very tender.
3. Stir occasionally.
4. This goes nicely, (and easily), with roasted chicken which bakes for the same amount of time at the same temperature. A no-fuss meal!
5. *If you substitute chicken broth for the bouillon, you will need to add salt.
6. **You can remove veggies from broth and thicken to a gravy if desired. To make it into gravy, bring the broth to a low boil in a small frying pan or saucepan.
7. Add 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp cold water. Pour in and stir for 1-2 minutes. It will thicken immediately.
8. Add slowly to get the desired thickness of gravy. You may not need it all, or may want to add even more. (Thicken it to your own liking).
9. ***You can also make this on the stove quickly if desired. Bring to a boil, then simmer til veggies are tender. About 20-30 minutes.

This tastes fabulous. I wanted a quicker cooking time so cooked in the microwave for about 15 mins beforehand before transferring to the oven. These are sweet tasting & full of flavour, a great vegie side! Thanks for posting! I think these could be cooked fully in the microwave too if you wanted dinner quicker!

We thought this was absolutely delicious! Made exactly as written and I had a lot of broth leftover which I froze for future use in a soup. I served this dish alongside ham so did not make a gravy, and it was a nice accompaniment to the ham.Definitely will make this often, thx Wildflour!

I love vegetables and I loved this dish. Thought there would be more broth by the beautiful photos posted, so next time I would add more chicken broth for the wonderful gravy. This was sooo good. I served this with an eye round roast that was sprinkled with kosher salt and garlic powder and served with Eye-Round Dijon Sauce for a dipping sauce
