When I think about Christmas dinner turkey, roast potatoes, roast vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy come to mind. Most of us usually look the least forward to the vegetables. They are either too soft, too hard or not seasoned well enough. With this recipe, you will take your Christmas roast vegetables up a notch and have everyone asking for more!

In order to make the perfect vegetables, you will need to season them properly. For this recipe I use:
