Perfectly roasted vegetables

A photo of the vegetables after the roast, looking delicious.

This recipe works with lots of vegetables-try sweet potatoes, rutabaga or beets. Use leftovers in a wrap for lunch or purée them and add to vegetable soup.

Serves: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 celeriac root
  • 1 butternut squash
  • 2 to 3 multi-coloured carrots
  • 2 to 3 parsnips

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400F.

  3. Cut large carrots and parsnips in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise.

  4. Chop Jerusalem artichokes/sunchokes in half.

  5. Break up the garlic bulb and leaving the cloves whole and unpeeled, bash them slightly with the palm of your hand.

  6. Pick the herb leaves off their woody stalks.

  7. Combine the vegetables and fresh herbs in a large glass roasting dish.
