Yum! I baked this in the oven for about 30 minutes and loved the combination of the herbs and veggies. Can't wait to make it again. I didn't have any olives on hand but really enjoyed it. Thanks Nimz for a great keeper. Made for Cookbook Tag.

I would give this 10 stars if I could! I didn't even have all of the veggies listed. I used asparagus, green pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes, black olives and fresh garlic. It only took about 10 on the grill. Delicious!

Mmm Mmm good. Made in the oven 450*F for 35 minutes. Had to make two changes the first was used Smokehouse pepper in place of lemon pepper (out of) and the second was I forgot to add the olives, but this had so much yummy fresh flavor that no one other then me knew an error had been made. Will make this often. Thanks for the post.
