Roasted Vegetables

I got this idea originally from Barefoot Contessa on the food network.  This recipe has been adjusted from the original Barefoot Contessa recipe. 

I love roasted vegetables and I do not know why but I also love sweet potatoes.  This vegetable mixture just creates a great mixture of vegetable flavors but also textures.  This side dish goes with a lot of different dishes and it is easy and quick too.
