Love this recipe, versatile and quick to fix. Great for side or main dish if you are vegetarian..

This has become a staple! Have also made it with brusselsprouts, adding them at the beginning. I have also added two pork chops that were brushed with olive oil and salt & pepper after 15 minutes and turned them after the second 15. They came out perfect, and everytihng was done in one pan!

Delicious! We loved these quick, easy, and flavorful vegetables. Roasting is my favorite way to prepare vegetables, so I am always on the lookout for new recipes using this method. I was a little disappointed because I had to make this without the mushrooms. I went to use my brown mushrooms and they had gone bad. Other than that, I made this exactly as written and we loved it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!
