Creamy risotto, Parmesan cheese and a colorful array of roasted spring vegetables combine to make a flavorful side dish.

Directions

Stir the asparagus, carrots, onions, peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, rosemary and 1/4 cup broth in the prepared pan.

Roast for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring once during roasting. Prepare the risotto while the vegetables are roasting.
