This was delicious!! The goat cheese worked really well. I also cooked it longer (40 mins) and peeled the garlic cloves first. It turned out perfectly. Thanks!!

Cherry blossom is right, the very sweet vegetables balance well with the cheese. I added an extra yellow squash I had in the fridge to add to the color. I really liked the way the thyme leaves from the sprigs (I added about 6) combined with the vegetables. The garlic flavor was apparent but not overpowering. If you are a big fan of garlic you might want to peel the cloves first. I liked this better than my BF, who says he's not a big fan of roasted veggies? Go figure. I'm reviewing this though, so I rate it as well. My only other comment would be that I cooked for about 40 minutes and felt it needed at least that long. Thanks!
