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.
