Mixed Roasted Vegetables With Special Sauce Vinaigrette

It is funny how we can fill up on vegetables which contain an average of 90% water. Amazing! Therefore the more vegetables we eat the better. It is more beneficial for the body to eat them raw but for the sake of taste we roast them with some herbs and olive oil....

 - 1 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar.
-  3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil.
-  Salt and pepper to taste.

Method for the Vinaigrette:
-  Mix all the above to a thickish cream.

Method:
-  Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius with air.
-  Try to cut the vegetables the same size.
-  Fill your oven baking tray with rows of the same vegetable as shown in picture.
