8-10 cups fresh vegetables

Cut into bite-size pieces for even cooking time (i.e., thinly slice potatoes but chop summer squash in larger chunks). Toss with one of the seasoning options below. Then spread seasoned vegetables in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven at 425 F for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

For a main dish: Serve over cooked penne pasta, wild rice, or couscous and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

For a salad: Cool vegetables (or use the leftovers) and add 2 cups diced tomatoes, 3 ounces feta cheese, and additional vinaigrette dressing.
