Spiced Roast Vegetables Wedges

This is an easy but delicious way of roasting vegetables. Whenever possible I like to leave the skin on my root vegetables as this adds to the colour and texture of the vegetables. The vegetables can be prepared the evening or morning before cooking them and stored in water in the refrigerator.
