I love this recipe for 3 reasons besides the obvious (it's delicious): 1. It is Easy 2. It is Healthy 3. Possible variations are endless I found this recipe in the food section of the Washington Post and have made it several times, changing the amounts of olive oil and playing with different seasonings each time. Roasting fresh herbs along with the veggies is a nice touch, but not necessary.
