Italian Baked Vegetables

Italian Roasted Vegetables: Root vegetables are roasted with olive oil and garlic and topped with tomato sauce and vine-ripened tomatoes. A hearty side dish or perfect meatless meal.

It is easy to steam a bag of veggies or toss a salad and serve with Homemade ranch dressing and call it a day.

But these Baked Vegetables with tomatoes is one of the easiest and tastiest side dishes out there.
