Roasted Vegetables

Mimi in Maine's Note:

This came out of the Weight Watchers Cookbook but it is far from tasting like WW. It is 2 points for a one-cup serving and DELICIOUS. These veggies are great reheated or cold in pita bread for lunch with some hummus. They make a wonderful accompaniment to any meat or fish dish. My daughter discovered this recipe and makes it all the time, too. This makes two large baking sheets full of yummy veggies. NOTE: Sometimes I add a couple of handfuls of frozen brussel sprouts (whole) to the sheet in place of the asparagus and sometimes I get piggy and add both.
