Mmm, these vegetables are so tasty! I love how the roasting process brings out their natural sweetness and makes them so aromatic.<br/>I made half the recipe but kept the amount of rosemary at 1/2 ts and added about 1/4 ts of dried sage, because I like sage. I needed only 1/8 ts salt, but thats just personal preference. For the veggies I used what was on hand: carrots, brown onions, red bell pepper and tomatoes. I liked this combination a lot but am sure, that the mix you suggest would have been equally delicious. For me the cheese on top made this extra special, it would be a wonderful addition to any fancy dinner like this (I used the swiss option and the lesser amount).<br/>I turned the temp down to 375?F and that was plenty to get a very nice roasted brown at 30 minutes.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, NorthwestGal! Ill add it to my routine, it is so versatile, easy and yummy!<br/>Made and reviewed for one of my babies during PAC Spring 2012.

Put everything together as listed, then GRILLED in a hole-y basket on the grill, while a pork tenderloin cooked ! The zucchini are producing at full blast, so made that the largest proportion of the veggies. Everything carmelized nicely, and DH and I ate the ENTIRE thing -- which I was planning to have leftovers. Didn't miss the cheese at all. Thanks for posting a nice combo of spices as well -- most I had fresh grown.

These are as decadent as roasted veggies can possibly be! Yummm. Everything caramelized beautifully. I used some thyme AND some oregano - the more herbs, the better! For my vegan family, the cheese was not missed at all. The only other slight change I made was to sprinkle coarse salt on each serving, in place of regular salt. Served with recipe#312000. Made for ZWT 2010, by a member of the Sassy Sailors & Co. Thanks for a keeper!

DELISH!! I used swiss cheese and added some asparagus that needed to be used up. I also used fresh herbs from the garden, maybe adding a wee bit more than the recipe calls for. Many times I will "nuke" my potatoes for 2 to 4 minutes (depending on the size, don't let them get too soft) before proceeding with a recipe. That cuts down on cooking time and they are always cooked thru. We thoroughly enjoyed this! Made for ZWT6. Thanks for posting NorthwestGal.

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
