This has quickly become a holiday staple and an easy way to use up veggies in the fridge.

Ingredients:
Enough vegetables to fill a metal baking pan with one layer of veggies.
Dense vegetables:
    onions
    carrots
    potatoes
    sweet potatoes
    parsnips
    turnips
    rutabaga
    whole peeled garlic, etc
Lighter vegetables:
    sweet pepper
    mushrooms
    cauliflower
    leeks
    extra firm tofu
    artichoke hearts, etc
Seasoning:
    4 Tbs olive oil
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    1 t. dried rosemary or 1 t. minced fresh rosemary
    1 Tbs fresh marjoram or 1 1/2 t. dried marjoram

Preheat oven to 375' F.
Cut all the veggies into inch-sized pieces (potatoes especially are better cut). Arrange the dense veggies only in a large oiled baking dish and toss in the seasoning. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35 min. Uncover and turn the veggies with a large spoon. Add lighter veggies and roast uncovered at 425' for approx 30 min. or until thoroughly cooked and somewhat browned.
