Roasted Vegetable Canapés
Looking for a new appetizer this holiday season that is both easy to make and guests will rave about? Roasted vegetable canapés have become one of my signature appetizers and I promise you, they are a hit every single time! Filled with Boursin cheese and topped with roasted veggies, these canapés literally make the perfect bite! Any guest will be impressed and will be back for more!
Level of Difficulty: Easy (Three components 1. Pre-made shells 2. Diced veggies 3. Boursin)
Prep Time: Less than 20 minutes (dicing raw veggies and assembly once veggies are roasted)
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes for veggies to roast and 10 minutes to cook canapés. Please note that cooking times vary by ovens.
Pro: Everyone including your vegetarian friends will love!
Note: If you’re unfamiliar with Boursin, it’s a soft, creamy cheese with garlic and herbs. So good! Also, don’t worry if you’re missing a vegetable or even two, use what you have!
