Roast veggies - by KatieLee

People will probably look at this recipe and go 'well that's so simple it's not even a recipe' but every time I make tham somebody remarks on them so...

Collect enough vegies for the amount of people you are having, for 8-10 I normally use...
2-3 potatoes
1-2 sweet potatoes
1-2 red capsicum
2-3 zuchini
2-3 red onions

and then deppending on what is in season...
mushrooms, pumpkin, eggplant, squash, etc (whatever you want really)

Peel and Chop them up in to reasonably even and smallish pieces (3-4 cm)
Hard vegetables in smaller pieces than soft ones
Either microwave the hard vegetables for 10 or so minutes if you are in a hurry or coat them in balsamic and olive oil, and your favourite herbs, and bake them for about 20-30 minutes, throw in the rest of the veggies and mix up gently and then add more olive oil, balsamic herbs, salt and pepper and throw in the oven for anouth 30-40 minutes mixing a few times.
