ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLE MEDLEY



Roasted Winter Vegetable Medley image

This is a sweet mixture of comforting winter vegetables that you can serve on its own as a side dish, or use as the component of a polenta, big bowl, frittata or omelet, or pasta. I roast the squash in one pan and the other vegetables together in another. If you have a small oven, roast the squash first, then the other vegetables. Or you can use two shelves and switch the trays top to bottom halfway through the roasting.
