Vegetables on sheet pan

This one is based on a wonderful, herby salad dressing that my wife created. I have added more salt to to make it into a brinerade. Best of all, it allows the flavor or seafood and veggies to come through without burying them under strong flavors. Click here to see how to use it to make wonderful Tuscan style ribs. Elegant.
