Roasted Squash, Parsnips & Carrots

Submitted by justcallmetoni

"After a trip to the farmers' market this fall I was looking for a simple way to enjoy some of the season's best vegetables. This combination fit the bill. The sugar in the rice wine vinegar really helps with the carmelization of the dish and adds a pleasing tang to this side dish."

Very nice favors with these three vegies. Took 40 minutes to cook, cut them as directed, used only 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar. Might drizzle with a bit of olive oil next time, but we loved them just with the bit of sugar and vinegar, too.

A nice combination of vegetables, and the rice wine vinegar adds good flavour. It was a touch too vinegary for the kids. It took 40 minutes for everything to be tender, and my oven tends to run a bit hot. Made and enjoyed for Zaar World Tour.

A great veggie combo for roasting & not overly sweet! I followed the advice of other reviewers by cutting back on the vinegar & drizzling with some olive oil. Thanx Toni!

I roast my veggies often - I love the natural flavor but I was surprised what a difference the Splenda & vinegar made it brought out the flavor even more. I cut back on the vinegar (apprx 1 tbsp) Thanks toni for a nice combbination of vegetables that will compliment any meal. I served them with Lemon Chicken, roasted potato Bites, & Mushroom Medly - a very fine Sunday dinner

This was really tasty. The vinegar and the Splenda give the veggies a nice sweetness, without beign overly sweet. I love the combo of veggies, especially the parsnips in this. Next time, I might dirzzle in a bit of olive oil as they got a little dry, but overall a very good and healthy recipe.
