Roasted Veggies

Mmmm... One of the easiest and yummiest side dishes ever!

Ingredients:
Vegetables such as: butternut squash, mushrooms, zucchini, potatoes, etc.
Olive Oil
Seasoning Salt

Direcions:
Preheat oven to 475.
Cut veggies into chunks (the smaller you cut, the faster they'll cook) Place on cookie sheet or in cake pan and drizzle olive oil over the top. Sprinkle your favorite seasoning on top. Sometimes I use Johnny's, sometimes I use Mrs. Dash, it all depends on your mood. Toss your veggies around so they get mixed around in oil and seasoning. Bake at 475 for about 20 minutes depending on how thin your veggies are. Check after about 15 minutes for tenderness.
