My family enjoys roasted vegetables so tried this for something different. They said they were okay but weren't impressed with them enough to have them again.

Wonderful! The leftovers were even better the next day. This is going into my file for potluck dishes. I can make it ahead of time and reheat plus it will travel well. This is a keeper.
