Roasted Vegetables

My mother-in-law makes these amazing roasted vegetables for family dinners. I look forward to them every time. The hint of lemon brings just the right amount of zing to the veggies. This recipe serves an army, but you can pair it down for your family, or just make the full amount and turn the leftovers into a great soup.
