I rated this recipe last night and this morning used the leftovers to make a simple hash. I fried some pork sausage, drained it and then added the veggies and kale (chopped pretty small). I served it with scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese on top and it was totally delicious, a huge hit at my house.

This was a nice change from just plain roasted veggies. I cut the veggies a little bigger, but the cooking time was right on. When I reheated the leftovers I put a little grated Parmesan cheese on top and that was good, too. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
