Roasted Winter Root Vegetables

Submitted by breezermom

"These vegetables are made extra yummy by roasting them. It emphasizes the sweetness of the vegetables, and cooking at a high heat seals in the flavor and carmelizes the vegetables. This is wonderful with ham!"

Very yummy. I used them as a side for a dinner party and to make things easier I pre-roasted the veggies for 20 min, and then when it was closer to time for dinner I put the sauce on and roasted for the final 20 min. They were perfect and piping hot when served.

I ate a plate of these vegetables for dinner and I was so satisfied! Deliciously carmelized, the herbs and salt just give it an added boost at the end. I used baby carrots and a few red potatoes in place of the turnip because it is what I had on hand. Thanks for this easy recipe!

I use silicone baking mats and the veggies always slide right off!

Thank you ... this was delicious! Lovely to see everyone's variations also. To make it a little more low calorie I just used one tablespoon of olive oil mixed with a teaspoon of honey and a big squeeze of lemon juice...very tasty!!!

I have been making my roast vegies like this for years, adding always root vegetables on hand. One tip for people is once you have rolled them in the oil, put them in the oven on grease proof/wax paper...nothing sticks to it, so you none of the beautiful flavours. ;) If I am in a hurry, I will sometimes even microwave the vegies until they are half cooked, then finish them in the oven as per the recipe...it works just as well. ;)
