Roasted Squash & Curried Rice

Wasn't gonna bother posting this, seemed too simple, but it came out great so here it is. We actually had more veggies on our plate than rice, but this was what I had left to photograph...

Wash and slice several zucchini and several yellow squash about 1/2 inch thick, give or take... Cut a big purple onion into anout 8 pieces, and seperate the pieces... Add these veggies to a large glass baking dish, lightly drizzle with olive oil, (fresh herbs would be great too, as well as fresh pepper), and toss well. Bake at 400 degrees, re-tossing periodically, until desired texture and onions start to carmelize. Took me over an hour in a convection oven.... For the rice I took one cup of brown rice, well rinsed, and added 2 cups water to it in a microwave safe dish with a tight fitting lid. I also added 1 Tbsp. Mochi Curry Powder, and a couple teaspoons vegan margarine. I first nuked it for about 8 minutes on high, followed by 17 minutes on half power (no peeking).. I let it set for 10 minutes and then fluffed with a fork for serving.. We also had some leftover Macaroni Hates Cheese sauce on the side as a condiment... The flavors really complimented one another... Next timt I'll be sure to add garlic and mushrooms!
