Roasted Fall Veggies With Lemon and Mustard Vinaigrette

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"Roasting veggies intensifies the flavor, this is a veggie combination that goes well together and seems to all get roasted at the same time, you can also add in potatoes and/or fennel bulb, but remember if you add in veggies such as potatoes or fennel they will take a longer time to cook, just keep and eye on them, and maybe remove all of the other veggies and continue to roast until done. The lemon-mustard vinaigrette can be made ahead of time, and ALL ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste. This is a wonderful side dish to serve with a turkey or roasted chicken dinner. If you like then roast the veggies with fresh garlic mixed with the olive oil."

Delicious! I love the dressing and combination of flavors. Everything cooked up perfectly. I think next time I would use only 1 - 2 tablespoons oil to roast the veggies in, 1/4 cup was a bit heavy.

AWESOME!!!!! This will definitely become a regular at my house! The combination was perfect. I ended up using a yellow bell pepper instead of a red one after I cut into mine and found it was rotten...I also added some mushrooms, and some very thin slices of sweet potatoes because I had some on hand...I served this on top of jasmine rice for the perfect dinner that kept my appetite at bay well into the following day.

We absolutely loved this! I am constantly looking for ways to make vegetables more exciting, and the vinaigrette for this was fantastic. This will definitely be part of our regular rotation! Thanks Kittencal!

This was easy and good and versatile. I also added some broccoli which was great with the lemon and served with chicken - it was a lovely dinner so thanks.

WOW is this good! This was so easy but turned out so BEAUTIFUL and FLAVORFUL! I love the veggie combo...my only problem was that I think the carrots needed to be cut smaller and the squash in thick rounds as the carrots were underdone and the squash overdone. I used 1 red and 1 white onion and 8 cloves of fresh garlic. I used 1 T red wine vinegar in the dressing as well as 1 squeezed small lemon, 4 cloves of garlic and oops 2 T dijon. It turned out FABULOUS. I would like to try roasting the veggies with less oil and omit the oil out of the dressing next time. I topped it with fresh snipped chives. I will be repeating this often. Made for Zaar Tag.
