“Tis the season for roasting and root vegetables!  Size matters…..make sure your vegetables are all cut to the same size; otherwise some will cook faster than others and others, not at all.  You can substitute the butter with a really nice EVOO or other vegetable oil.  Serve with a warm spinach salad and crusty bread.
