Roasted Veggie Quesadillas Recipe
I am always looking for recipes that will encourage students to eat vegetables and this one has been a huge success. You can also use other vegetables, such as mushrooms, eggplant, asparagus and broccoli. Just remember to roast your vegetables before making the quesadillas. —Kathy Carlan, Canton, Georgia TOTAL TIME: Prep: 40 min. Cook: 5 min./batch YIELD:8 servings

2 medium red potatoes, quartered and sliced
1 medium zucchini, quartered and sliced
