Garden vegetables taste great no matter how you fix them but these roasted vegetables will give any main course meat the extra yum. Use any of your favorite garden vegetables including zucchini and squash. These may be topped with pats of butter instead of olive oil cooking spray, just be sure to toss them occasionally while roasting to ensure all the vegetables are covered with the melted butter.
