Oven Roasted Vegetables

Tonight we made a favorite recipe, Oven Roasted Potatoes, except we added golden beets and onions and a few carrot thinnings so it became Oven Roasted Vegetables. These are a great alternative to french fries and we make them often in the fall. The potatoes and beets were from our CSA, the carrots, garlic, and onions from our garden. We only had one pound of new red potatoes and one pound of golden beets and we could have done with some more, there was just one serving left over from the two of us. You don't have to use new potatoes and root vegetables would do well here based on your preference.
