I loved the flavor of this, and am definitely going to try this again with a mix of veggies. Cooking time was a little long, as my zucchini was really soft, but my own fault, as I probably could have left off the second cooking since the veggies were tender. This seasoning would be great on roasted potatoes, I think...

This was a great recipe. Even my daughter who seems to hate vegetables (unless they are raw) loved these. Definately something we will be doing again.

I am NOT a fan of yellow squash but I tried this recipe for my husband since we were given yellow squash. It was very good & I even ate a few sticks. Thanks :-)
