I'm amazed. Firstly that you buy pumpkin in a can. Surely fresh veges are available. Secondly it sounds like you don't have roast veges all that often. I know you have mashed potato with roast meat but do you also have roast veges? I'm sure you would all think we have different ways here.
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 roast 1 bunch asparagus, 1 red onion diced, 1 butternut squash diced, 1 of each red, yellow, orange peppers, 2 cups sliced mushrooms, 20 brussel sprouts, with 3 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper and 3 tbsp oregano. Roast at 400 degrees and stir every ten minutes for 30 minutes total.
If we have any leftovers I keep in freezer and add to our next soup pot.
I like it as I can prepare it the night before, and just bake when I get home, while I'm preparing the rest of dinner.

My DH said it is better than squash (we both love squash.) I bought two more pumpkins since pie ones are small and they keep well.
Then I decided to saute some radishes which I love and DH doesn't. Raw veggies are my favorite, but they hurt my stomach. DH loved the cooked radishes, too. They don't hurt my stomach. :)
Yesterday, I roasted a sweet potato, carrots, and a baking baking potato all mixed together and coated with olive oil. I put them in a foil lined pan so I wouldn't have to wash the pan later. I left the pan uncovered so the veggies would brown a little.
Then I sauteed egg plant, zucchini, fresh white mushrooms, leeks, radishes and a little bit of fresh jalepeno pepper. I added a dash of hot pepper flakes, sea salt, paprika and black pepper. When all were done, I served them together in one dish. Then I added sauteed cauliflower on the side. The vegetables were so tasty it was very hard to stop eating them. My DH like them so much he offered to wash the dishes to give me a break. He always dries them. He's a sweetheart. :)
We have always eaten a lot of vegetables and now that I roast them, we will be eating them a lot more. :) I will keep trying different vegetable combinations. :)
I posted this because it turned out so great for us, that I thought someone else might want to try roasted vegetables if they haven't already. Don't forget the pumpkin. :)
