Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables is an outstanding way to enjoy Mediterranean-style food. Fresh vegetables are roasted with several different herbs and drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar before cooking. The outcome is a wonderfully satisfying, healthy, very low calorie, gluten free, vegan side dish that's terrific for just about any entree. Excellent recipe for serving a crowd.
