If you’re in the mood for a healthy, simple meal, this warm vegetable medley is the way to go. It’s a great mix of vegetables with different tastes and textures (and colors!) that complement each other perfectly.  If you don’t have one of the vegetables, feel free to swap it out for something else you have in your fridge.  Your taste buds, your rules.  This dish also goes great with quinoa or a side of brown rice. Enjoy!

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350˚F.
2. Peel the carrot and cut into into small pieces.
