Isn't it summer?

I think I've turned on the oven almost everyday since I've been home and I should really cut that out since I can sit absolutely still and sweat buckets. I just can't help it!
Baked up these bad boys into healthier fries. Carrots on the left and the enigmatic Korean sweet potato on the right. Preheat the oven to 425F, cut your vegetables into size of your choice (e.g. for the largest part of the carrot, I cut lengthwise 3x). Lightly toss in oil and salt and pepper (or whatever spices touch your fancy). Then bake for about 20 minutes (flip halfway through so they can brown evenly). My carrots were kind of limp, but I think it's b/c I got a bit carried away with the oil.
As promised, the black bean burger actually as a burger (does it still count as a burger if the protein isn't sandwiched between burger buns???). Some lettuce, melted cheddar cheese (Cabot seriously sharp!) and onions, and wha-la. Would have also been great with some guacamole or spiced mayonnaise, but didn't want to scare the parents too much.
