These Roasted Veggie are easy to make and store well.  I will make a batch for dinner and then use the leftovers for lunch the next day.  You can use any root veggies that you like.  Enjoy 1 small butternut squash, cubed 1 red bell peppers, seeded and diced 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed 1 Yam 1 red onion, quartered  3 small Beets  1/2 Cauliflower   1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary 1/4 cup olive oil ( I used rosemary infused oil) salt and freshly ground black pepper Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). In a large plastic bag, combine the all veggies and onions. In a small bowl, stir together thyme, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add to vegetables an toss until they are coated. Spread evenly on a large roasting pan. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring every 10 minutes, or until vegetables are cooked through and browned.
