RECIPE

3 c fresh pumpkin, peeled and chopped

3 c red bell pepper, chopped

1.5 c sweet potato, peeled and chopped

1 sweet onion, sliced

1 t Chinese five-spice powder

1 t cumin

1 T olive oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 t salt

5-6 c low-sodium chicken broth

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Combine vegetables, spices, olive oil and garlic in a large bowl and toss to evenly distribute oil and spices.  Spread onto baking sheet and sprinkle half of the salt evenly over the vegetables. Roast for 30 minutes, stirring once or twice.
