Roasting does change the character and flavor immensely, and usually
for the better in most vegetables. I despised sweet potatoes and
beets until I tried them roasted. Ditto winter squashes.

If you have a chance, try a taste of it. Whole Foods will usually
allow you to sample almost anything in the store, and I know they
carry it.

I like it as part of a ratatouille, where the tomatoes and aliums
mellow the taste. Plain, it reminds me of tofu, a good base for
almost any strong flavor.
