Vegetables are essential to a well-balanced diet, but don’t you sometimes get sick of the same old, same old? I know I do. But, you can’t forgo the veggies, as they help to fight and prevent cancer, give us nutrients and vitamins, and are essential for good health. This is one reason I love to roast them. It brings out the natural flavors in a great way.

The inspiration recipe comes from here.  But I put my own stamp on it by adding some pine nuts (yum), some extra citrus zest, and using dried cranberries instead of cherries, as it is a Thanksgiving side after all.
