Roasted Vegetable Fajitas

Aunt Cookie's Note:

Yes, they're meatless and lowfat, but they taste good, too. Don't substitute any other type of vinegar for the balsamic...this much regular vinegar on vegetables will just give you pickles, whereas the balsamic makes them taste a little sweet.

What a lovely recipe - I found this after trying to figure out a main for a veg friend coming over for lunch.

I followed the recipe as directed - it was my first time buying/roasting jicama.. that first cut was very difficult, I must say.

The flavor was spot-on - I didn't even add s&p! Thank you!

A friend made this for us and it was so good I had to add the recipe to my cookbook. She substituted the corn from 2 ears for the jicama and served it with seasoned black beans. Yum!

Juat lovely! We cut back on some of the fat by using a small bit of spray oil instead of the olive oil. This is the first time trying cooked jicama- and it is sweet and really yummy. Served with a chipotle tofu sauce instead of sour cream. Would make this again. Thanks for posting!
