I just love roasted vegetables. I love grilled vegetables too but with the weather turning colder, this roasted recipe pulled double duty for heating up the kitchen! I guess you could say I’m pulling double duty this week. I prepared and photographed this recipe (and others) for work but after tasting it, I just had to post it here as well!

I know this recipe says 6-8 servings, but I swear, I could eat 2-3 cups of these veggies and be content. Learning to like healthy foods makes it much easier to consume them. I’m still learning to like beets and lima beans though.

What have you learned to like ?

    Veggies are good, garden fresh are best(imo)! Turnips aren’t bad either and someone once showed me how to make a really good and healthy alternative to french fries with a big turnip….

    I looove roasted vegetables! I like roasting broccoli and cauliflower especially. I have learned to like mushrooms over the years.

    This sounds fantastic.  I have a new obsession with roasted veggies, especially carrots.

    Just read your comment on my blog and I have to say serving the chili in the pumpkin would have been a GREAT idea!  I only had two halves though, and five people.  But, if you wanted to try this at home, it would work well! The shell was very thick.
