Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, toss to mix well. Spread evenly on 1 or 2 foil lined, rimmed baking sheets. Cover with foil (If you need to use two pans, place one on the middle rack and one on the bottom rack, switching their positions halfway through cooking.) Roast on the middle rack of the oven for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, til vegetables are tender and soft. If vegetables are cooking too quickly, lower heat a little to 350 to 375 degrees. If you prefer, remove foil cover during the last 5 to 10 minutes of roasting, depending on how browned you like your roasted vegetables.
