I make roast veges as often as I can. Just a spray of oil and all in the one baking dish. My DH asks for mashed veges sometimes. I love roast veges because they are healthier as, except for some herbs they need nothing else.
We know that Americans didn't take to our national spread, Vegemite. Would it interest you to know it was developed by an American scientist working for Kraft.
I'd be interested to hear other stories about what you enjoy eating.
Try roast parsnip. Wonderful.
We have eaten roasted vegetables for many years and quite often. I just hadn't tried pumpkin before. Pie pumpkins are not available year around. It is not always easy to find quality fresh vegetables even when they are in season so I try to find some in cans to try once in a while.
One of our favorite roasted vegetables is asparagus. This too is not available year round. The canned type is way to mushy for us though. It is hard to find it frozen and it's expensive to purchase frozen.
While I like parsnip (especially blended into mashed potatoes) I am allergic to them as with many other foods.
I used to roast vegetables with roasts. I rarely buy red meat anymore. It isn't healthy for my DH with his cancer nor is for me with my food allergies.
Thanks for responding. :)
