Great Recipe
I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved the vegetables. Even those who don't like brussel sprouts thought it was good. I will definately make this again.

GREAT recipe. I had subbed carrots for parsnips and broccoli for Brussels sprouts and it was delicious! I also added a half cup of Parmesan a few minutes before taking it out of the oven.

I did not have the dried Marjoram, but this was excellent. I went back for seconds!

Wonderful Recipe
My husband found this recipe and wanted me to try it. We have never eaten butternut squash or parsnips. This recipe was awesome and easy to prepare. The mix of vegetables had a wonderful taste that blended well together. It also fits into my ww points easily. I have made this dish twice now and it is definetly a keeper in my recipe file.
