Notes: I started roasting vegetables when I found a recipe in the South Beach Diet cookbook many years ago. Since then I have tried roasting just about any vegetable we eat. This recipe combines some of my favorites. It makes a great holiday side dish. But, it can also be combined with lettuces greens to make a wonderful salad. I entered the recipe in the 2013 Wichita Eagle Holiday Cookbook recipe contest "Secret Ingredient:Squash" catagory. I didn't win but did get an Honorable Mention.
