Cheesy Roasted Root Vegetables

• 5-6 red potatoes, diced
• 1/2 large yellow onion, diced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 3-4 garlic cloves, peeled and mashed
• 1 large yellow squash, diced
• 2 large carrots, diced
• 1 large orange or red bell pepper, diced
• Green onions, chopped (save for serving)
• 1 Tbs Olive Oil
• 1 Tbs Balsamic Vinegar
• 2 tsp honey
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• Pinch of dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp Dried sage
• 1/2 – 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or vegan mozzarella

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF
2. Begin preparing your vegetables and set them aside.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and seasonings. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Then, toss in the potatoes, squash, carrots, onion, and bell pepper into the bowl with the mixture (save the mushrooms for later).
4. Mix and coat the vegetables into the dressing and then transfer to a deep baking pan. Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, checking on it and rotating halfway through. Use a spatula to mix up the vegetables to prevent burning.
5. After about 30 minutes, the vegetables should be mostly done. Remove the pan from the oven, toss in the mushrooms, and top with cheese. Place back in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the mushrooms are softened and the cheese has melted.
6. Once done, remove from the oven, top with green onions. Serve and enjoy!

For vegans, we also added a 1/2 cup of meatless crumbles to this dish for added protein.
