Directions for oven roasted vegetables

2. Combine all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add in salt, herbs and oil and stir until veggies are well coated.

Tip: Try to cut all your veggies into cubes that are approximately the same size for more uniform cooking.
Note: Cooking at a high temperature not only reduces your overall cooking time but helps achieve a caramelized and crispy outside, and a just-cooked-through inside.
Note: Baby Bella's are simply mini Portabello mushrooms, which can be found in the fresh produce section of your local grocery store. You could choose to use a button mushrooms instead but portabellos are heartier and tend to hold their shape and texture better when roasted.
