No-fail; so simple and delicious! This spice mix with salt and pepper, is what I often use to roast sweet potatoes or root vegetables of any kind. It adds a lightly spicy mixture that really brings out the flavors of vegetables. TIP: For roasting garlic: Whenever I roast vegetables, I usually place a few cloves or even a whole head of garlic along with it. I frequently use the more subtle cooked garlic with deep and rich flavor. Once cooked, I cut one end and pop the garlic out of its peel, and reserve the inside mushy part, which it does easily when warm. I keep it in a tiny plastic container in the refrigerator to add to vegetables at any time. It keeps about a week; so it’s convenient to use. I just place a cooked and peeled clove in a garlic press, and squeeze right into my recipes, to use as needed.
