Tasty roasted vegetables - the secret ingredient is orange marmalade!
4 long and thin raw carrots, scrubbed
1 potato, scrubbed
1 small zucchini (5"-6" long), scrubbed
1 small yellow squash (5"-6" long), scrubbed
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 tablespoons orange marmalade
2 tablespoons oil
salt or salt substitute and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons untoasted sesame seeds
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut carrots and potatoes into short shoestrings (1-1/2-inches long) of equal thickness. The squash should be chopped into chunks twice as thick as onions, potatoes, and carrots.
In a large plastic bag, mix all ingredients (except the sesame seeds) then spread in roasting pan about 7" x 12" and cover with foil. Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes covered and then 25 minutes uncovered or to desired tenderness.
Sprinkle with water if dry; turn often. Sprinkle on sesame seeds before serving.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Make your mornings a little less hectic with these overnight breakfast recipes. Prep the night before and enjoy a warm, comforting meal in the morning.

Roasted is my favorite way to prepare veggies. This recipe is unique in that it uses orange marmalade in it for a little extra sweetness. It really worked well! The flavor of the orange was subtle. I did peel the carrots but that is a matter of personal preference really.
