Our potatoes and carrots took a long time to finish cooking. We had this on the grill for at least 40 minutes. Also, the flavor was a bit off to us. There is another recipe on TOH that we like better than this one. It's similar but adds in a few things, including soy sauce. This one's not bad, it's just not our favorite. Next time we'll stick with the other recipe.

The whole family (even toddlers) enjoyed this! Yum! I omitted the peppers and used brussell sprouts. There were no left overs.

Excellent! I used carrots sliced into thin strips instead of baby carrots.

I have been using this recipe for a long time and love it. I vary the vegetables and the seasonings sometimes. Easy and favorite of the family's.
