Oh yum, this is a really great twist on baked veggies. The vegetables are a perfect match with the maple suyrup as they are naturally sweet roasted. The only change I made was to leave out the oil. Instead, I sprayed the pan with oilve oil spray. They carmalized up nicely. This is a keeper for sure. Thanks for posting!

This is insanely good, and so sweet, you're right, it's like dessert! It's so easy, too. The only things I changed were using all turnips instead of turnips and parsnips and increasing the ratio of carrot:turnip. I also used probably about 1 tsp olive oil instead of 2 tbsp--I find that if you under-measure your olive oil you'll pretty much always be fine, without the extra fat. Will be making this all winter!

Well, I live on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. I am not Puerto Rican, but I have been living here for about 7 years, which is long enough to make me thoroughly confused as to what my own culture is. My husband is actually not Puerto Rican but half Costa Rican, so now our family is even more culture shocked. We make the most of it.
Passions? Hobbies? It's hard to chose which ranks over the other, so I will say it is a tie, but cooking/baking and photography are at the top of my "hobbies" list. It's funny because I never went to school for either, which many are surprised to learn that, since my dedication to both hobbies as yeilded some pretty cool results. Amazing what you can learn from books!
