Roast Vegetables With Pine Nuts and Goats Cheese image

The vegetables you use are up to you though I do find that some kind Cabbage relative like cauliflower and brussels sprouts work very well along with something sweet like butternut squash. In the end it is up to your personal tastes. The amount of time it takes to cook the vegetables can very based on the vegetables you use. Be very careful when getting some color on your pine nuts. They go from golden brown to burned very quickly.
