Spicy-food lovers will enjoy this unusual root vegetable dish. If desired, serve with salsa on the side.

Preheat broiler. Combine first four ingredients in medium bowl, then add steamed vegetables and toss well to coat. Spoon vegetables into a lightly oiled baking dish. Place under broiler until vegetables are heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese; place under broiler and broil until cheese melts and bubbles, about 3 minutes.
