Roast Vegetable Medley - help please.

Tomorrow I have to do a roast vegetable medley to take for a lot of people. I am not a good cook so if anyone can give me some tips to make it successful I would be very grateful! I have potatoes, pumpkin, parsnip, some carrots, yams, garlic and asparagus. What would be best to cook it in! I have Chefade, butter and oil available. Could not get any duck fat which someone recommended!

Cut all your root veggies up to bite size peices and chuck them into a plastic bag (some at a time if need be).Pour in some oil and jiggle the veggies about so that they are all covered in oil. Seperate and peel garlic cloves. Tip them out into the roast pan, salt (and pepper) to taste then cook at 180 - 200 deg for about 30 mins.I would tend to quickly stir fry asparagus cut into peices and then stir through once veggies are cooked.You don't want to overcook this.

I also add kumara, capsicums, red onion and whatever else I have on hand.

Top with a balsamic dressing and a sprinkling of sesame seeds
