A yummy delightful dish... roasting veggies is so easy...and the cilantro sauce is a perfect pairing. Choose whatever veggies you like...this recipe is very flexible.
Cilantro is also known as coriander and Chinese Parsley. It is widely used in Latin and Indian dishes. It is very effective for clearing out heavy metals. When used fresh and uncooked, it is an effective digestive aid, perfect for the Fall Season (warm, grounding and yummy).
