My typical seasoning for roasting vegetables is pretty simple, olive oil, salt, pepper and possibly a little rosemary. As I am constantly looking for some new sides, I am starting to investigate some different seasonings. This one adds a bit of cayenne.
While they were very good, the cayenne was pretty subdued. Next time I would increase the quantity that I used.
One of those potatoes was a little more than a medium size.
I decided to dice the potatoes and other veggies to a 1/2-3/4″ dice.

Rantings of an Amateur Chef 
I was so excited to see this recipe. I have roasted root veg on my menu for this week, and I ALWAYS do the olive oil, salt & pepper, and rosemary. I love cayenne and never thought about using it with the veg UNTIL NOW! Thanks. However, I noticed that you used chili powder in the recipe and not cayenne. Was is good? As good as cayenne? Let me know. My menu for the week depends on it. 😉

Really simple, almost no prep, is just cut the potatoes, unpeeled, into wedges. Dry them, coat in olive oil, put on a baking tray, grind some salt and pepper over then a good sprinkle of cayenne. Pup in a hot oven till tender inside and golden brown outside. Delicious!
