This recipe comes from a friend of mine who grew up in the south of France. She made this dish whenever she had friends over. It’s incredibly easy to prepare, healthy, and tastes fantastic. You can mix any combination of vegetables you like and experiment with different seasonings -- although Herbs de Provence are my favorite.

Yield
Serves eight people

Ingredients
You'll need:

• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 parsnip, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 eggplant, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 5 whole garlic cloves, unpeeled
• 3 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Herbs de Provence
• Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions
Lay the vegetables out in a large baking pan. Sprinkle the herbs, salt and pepper over them, then drizzle the olive oil on top. Cover with foil and bake in a 425°F oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and stir the vegetables. Bake again, uncovered, for an additional five to ten minutes until tender.
