"The vegetables were overpowered by the seasoning, and didn't look too attractive covered in all the spices. Because of oven space, I had split the recipe and was baking it in two dishes. Halfway through cooking time, I LIGHTLY rinsed a lot of the seasonings off one dish of vegetables and put them back in the oven. Those vegetables got eaten, the others were tasted, but no one took seconds. 2 tablespoons of fresh ground pepper for a recipe that serves 6 is too much for most people."
