Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Wash all vegetables. Cut and clean red bell peppers. Slice peppers and yams in equal size pieces. Place garlic cloves, red peppers, yams, tomatoes and carrots in a large glass baking dish or foil-lined cookie sheet. Do not layer the vegetables—spread evenly. Lightly cover all vegetables with olive oil and season with freshly ground pepper. Place in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until vegetables are completely roasted. Remove from oven and allow vegetables to cool.

 Optional Croutons: Cut sprouted grain bread into cubes. Place bread cubes in a large bowl and spray olive oil to cover the cubes. Sprinkle seasoning of choice over all cubes. Mix well. Place seasoned bread cubes on cookie sheet and place on the upper rack of the oven during the last 10 minutes while vegetables are roasting. The croutons should be well toasted.
