I should have rated this sooner as I am printing it out to make again for a holiday party. I try not to give too many 5 stars but this is superb! It goes together easily, and travels very well. I was really generous with the veggies so I used a deep 13X9 dish. I didn't add more liquids and it was fine. It is so delicious and unique. It also looks just beautiful. Made as written.

This dish was served for our Thanksgiving meal and we really enjoyed it. The roasting brought out the natural sweetness without relying on lots of added sugar. Replaced half the sweet potatoes with yams. Replaced half the amount of potato with rutabaga. Subbed parsley for thyme, subbed fresh turkey stock for chicken, subbed apple cider and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for the bourbon. Thank you for sharing.
