5. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake at 375 for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Serve immediately.
Tip
This sweet vegetable dish has a bit of a kick from the cayenne pepper and goes perfectly as a side dish to roasted turkey or chicken.
Tips:
Margarine: There are a few healthy margarines in the market place right now, Willow Run, Smart Balance and my personal favorite pick, Earth Balance. I use it as a spread and in both cooking and baking. It is free of trans fats, hydrogenated oils and artificial ingredients. It works perfectly in this recipe.
