Imagine gathering all your favorite fall vegetables from the fields and then throwing them onto a roaring fire. Luckily, you don't have to live in the 18th, 19th (or even 20th) century to enjoy good old-fashioned roasting. Roast these vegetables in your 21st-century oven and bring out the nutty flavor; the low-cal sauce will add just the right tang. These vegetables will look beautiful in an earthenware bowl.
step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
step 2Place all the cut vegetables in a large bowl and toss with 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper.
step 3Place the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until tender and browned.
step 4In a bowl place the remaining 2 Tablespoons of olive oil, plus the lemon juice, dried thyme, and mustard, and whisk together.
step 5Toss the cooked vegetables in the dressing and serve hot.
