I saw this recipe in my Essence mag and had to try it, I\'m glad I did, it was delicious. Because I had other food in the oven, I boiled the veggies, then put them in a roasting pan, drizzled with oil (not using nearly as much as the recipe called for) and broiled for a few minutes to get that slightly brown roasted look. My family loved them and didn\'t leave any leftovers! Thanks Essence, this is a keeper!
