For the last day of November I would like to share with you my new favorite fall dish...roasted root vegetables. Oh my goodness, these vegetables never tasted so good---this is amazing! Even (most) of my children gobbled them up! I served this with Parmesan Tilapia and Pumpkin Streusal Muffins (the recipe says sweet potato, but I always use pumpkin), and I have to say it was the BEST dinner! Yum!
*Also, Menu Monday is a little late this week--sorry for those of you who care:) I am doing a 2 week menu and will post it at Melandboys tomorrow! I have been too busy getting ready for the Christmas season! Yeah I love this time of year!!
Roasted Root Vegetables
Submitted by Melanie ~The Sisters Cafe
Printable recipe here
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound medium-sized potatoes
1 pound sweet potatoes
4 to 6 carrots
1/2 medium-sized red onion
Preheat oven to 400°. Peel vegetables and chop into 1-inch cubes, or bite size pieces for the carrots. In a medium bowl, toss chopped vegetables with olive oil and garlic. Drizzle in more oil if everything did not get coated. Spread vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place pan in the oven and roast for 40 minutes, stirring after the first 20 minutes. Serve immediately. Alter any ingredients to your taste. You can use this same olive oil + garlic + s & p method for any assortment of veggies, or try spicing things up by adding some red wine vinegar or fresh herbs to the mix too.

I love roasted vegetables! You can't beat the slightly crispy outside and soft steamy centers. We even do this with broccoli and brussels sprouts.
ReplyDeleteThat looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love roasted veggies! Thanks for sharing, Mel.
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious. It's a combination we love in my house, too.
ReplyDeleteI love rutabagas and carrots together. Rutabagas are sometimes hard to find, and very hard to prepare, but VERY worth the effort. Think broccoli as a root vegetable. Yum. Thanks for the awesome recipe, as always!
ReplyDeletelooks fabulous Mel! can't wait to try it out. I think I'll try rutabagas too - I love those!
ReplyDeleteI just love this recipe. I love all kinds of root vegetables and I am always looking for new ways use them in a recipe. I ahve tried them roated before but not in this combination or with these seasonings...brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteI just featured a few of your recipes on my blog (hope you don't mind). Feel free to stop by and see.
