Things You'll Need

Cooking spray
Roasting pan
Aluminum foil
Salt

Pepper
Rosemary
Garlic

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat your roasting pan with cooking spray.
Thaw your frozen vegetables halfway so you can separate and spread them out on the pan.
Put your vegetables on the greased roasting pan. Sprinkle the vegetables lightly with salt, pepper, rosemary and garlic.
Cover your roasting pan loosely with aluminum foil. Put your pan in the oven.
Allow the vegetables to cook for 20 minutes. Remove the roasting pan from the oven, peel back the aluminum foil and turn over the vegetables with a spatula.
Re-secure the aluminum foil so it is loosely covering your vegetables and roasting pan. Place your pan back in the oven.
After 15 minutes, remove the aluminum foil cover from your roasting pan. Let the vegetables cook for an additional 10 minutes uncovered.
Remove the vegetables from oven. If you can easily pierce your vegetables with a fork they are ready. If they do not appear done, continue to cook them, checking every 2 to 3 minutes to see when the roasting process is complete.
