     EVOO is Extra Virgin Olive Oil...a term coined by Rachel Ray and widely used in our lazy speaking culture. It is actually in the newest versions of the dictionary...sad. - 6/29/09

     1/2 c olive oil is way too much for me. I put all veggies in a ziplock bag and just enough oil to coat. Then I use my grill wok and cook on the grill. Any veggies will do, whatever you have. These have become a favorite in our family! - 8/4/09

     I made this last night and it was wonderful. I made it with sweet onion instead of fennel, used 1/2 the salt, 1/4 of the pepper and no squash since none looked good in the grocery store. I loved the flavor the lemon added. - 7/2/09

     During summer I roast veggies several nights a week on the BBQ in a veggie roasting pan. I'll cut up squash, eggplant, onions and bell peppers, from the garden and add mushrooms and asparagus. Then I'll toss them with olive oil and tamari or balsamic vinegar and season to taste before cooking - yum! - 6/30/09

     I Made this and we loved it. I did make a few changes, however. I left out the fennel (we just aren't crazy about it) and added chunked vidalia onions. I also left out the salt, prefering to use Mrs. Dash. You could make this to use up any leftover vegetables and herbs. Yummy and easy. - 6/2/08

     Very good. Add sun dried tomatoes for a little more zing. - 7/11/09

     Everyone, the reason it calls for so much oil, is that the person submitting the recipe is eating only this over some cooked grains. In that case, it's fine to use this much oil. They're eating it as a main dish, not just a side dish. :-) - 3/16/10

     Have you tried doing the same in a wok? That will save you having to take the dish out of the oven and then the grill to stir. When switching off the heat of the wok the food will still stay warm as you finish preparing the couscous. - 7/2/09

     What a great time for this recipe and it was great. I didn't have fennel but used sweet onion chunks. Thanks for sharing. - 7/30/09

     EVOO is extra virgin olive oil :) - 6/4/08
  • MYSPARKS7
     I make roasted veggies all of the time, sometimes I use sesame oil instead of the extra virgin olive oil. I also use a few more other veggies. The outcome each was is wonderfully tasty. - 9/24/09
  • KIMOT2LTD
     I roast all kinds of vegetables, but a half cup of olive oil seems excessive. I use 4 T. at most. Love oil, but less is more. - 8/13/09
  • PUSHWAIT
     I make a similar version using one packet of Lipton Garlic & Herb Dip . Put the veggie, oil, and seasoning in a plastic bag, shake, and finish the same. - 8/2/09
  • MOLLYSGAN
     It's too hot to use the oven or grill, so I stir fry it, I also add some extra large shrimp with it, I only use Mrs. Dash, it's wonderful! - 7/6/09
  • GRAMMADENI
     I found no Olive Oil in the cabinet...I was out! I use my Olive Oil Spray. Sprayed the veggies, laid them out on my jelly roll pan, and seasoned one side, turn and seasoned the other side. They browned up just as well, were just as tasty, and I used hardly any oil. - 5/26/10

     Serve over my current favorite farfalle pasta - 8/7/09

     Halved the amount and reduced evoo. Used grape tomatoes, lemon pepper,dried thyme and Mrs Dash.Served w/" Royal Blend wild rice, brown rice,soft red wheat and ryeberries" cooked in low sodium,fat free chicken w/ bite size chicken breast. Delish! - 4/28/10
  • TESSIELU
     Great recipe! Cut WAY back on the salt and EVOO...just drizzled with enough EVOO enough to coat, and sprinkled with a little kosher salt for flavor. The lemon is a refreshing touch. - 2/28/10
  • MOTIVATEBREN
     Will add red onions, also broccoli, maybe shredded carrots. Whatever vegetables I have should do. - 6/30/08
  • FUFINA514
     Very good and roasting brings out a great flavor in the veggies. Used olive oil instead. Have no clue what EVOO is - 6/4/08
  • LADYPHOENIX61
     I want to try it but I'm reducing the sodium. Too much for me! Also less EVOO can be used. Sounds good though, thanks for sharing. - 8/2/09
