Tested and tried, even changed a little in the Maine kitchen of Cher Jones

Wash and cut your choices of vegetables, and toss the into a large baking pan.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Put on a pot of your favorite brown rice or quinoa.

If you have never done this before, here’s a grand mix, but really, any vegetable that
you enjoy will do, in fact, if you don’t particularly like a vegetable, this will turn you
into a real fan!

2 carrots, sliced
6 baby gold, purple or red potatoes, cut up
1 1/2 cups butternut squash or pumpkin, peeled, cubed
Half a cabbage, green or purple or sliced
