Roasted Vegetables: Recipes and Tips

Roasted Vegetable Recipes continued...

6 whole-wheat tortillas (whole-wheat pita pockets can be substituted)

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a jellyroll pan with foil and coat the foil with canola or olive oil cooking spray.
• Add vegetables, olive oil and Italian seasoning to a large bowl and toss to coat vegetables well. Add a sprinkling or two of salt and pepper, if desired. Pour mixture onto prepared pan and coat top with canola or olive oil cooking spray. Roast about 30 minutes.
• Gently turn over vegetables and roast about 20 minutes more. Meanwhile, spread about 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of the goat cheese over the top of each tortilla. Crisp the bottom of the tortilla by placing in toaster oven and pressing "toast," or warming in a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat until bottom is nicely browned.
• When vegetables are done, top each toasted tortilla with an assortment of the roasted vegetables (about 3/4 cup each). Cut each tortilla into 4 wedges.
