Ally’s Thanksgiving Day Roasted Vegetables
I do this every year at my Mom’s. I get her big electric roaster and I put sliced up potatoes, yams, red onions, Brussels sprouts, winter squash, whatever looks good in there. Toss with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and roast until brown an fragrant! It is a crowd please and a little liter than most of the dishes served.
