This is one of my favorite things to make in the late summer — a gorgeous platter of roasted vegetables. And it's way less work than it may seem at first glance.
These roasted veggies are an extravaganza of flavor, and though it's perfect for late summer or early fall, with these particular veggies there's no reason you can't make it year-round.
Simply substitute whatever veggies are in season near you — mushrooms, summer squash, green beans, asparagus are all great choices.
For a heartier meal, you can serve these roasted summer veggies over rice or couscous. Just increase the amount of marinade a bit!

Looks so delicious but many health experts say that olive oil should not be heated above 180C that\'s about 356F.
I used to roast veg in olive oil until some bad fatty acids were found in my red blood cells that I was told came from heating olive oil. I stuck to cooking at no more that 180C as well. Ever since then I have cooked in coconut oil to be on the safe side.
