M EMORIES - VEGETARIAN: MY OVEN ROASTED BEETS, BRUSSELS SPROUTS, SWEET POTATOES & GARLIC with AVOCADO

This is such a nice vegetarian dish, or if you will, a healthy side to go with any protein. I use a lot of dry seasonings in my cooking because they provide an intense flavor to my meals, either to stand-alone vegetables, seafood or meats and poultry. That is not to say that I neglect my favorite, fresh garlic, smile.
