Roasted roots

Sometimes you just get a craving…Continuing with the idea of simple, wholesome meals comes this fantastic winter dish.

Skill: easy
Prep: 10 minutes
Total: 30 minutes

I like this recipe because you can make it however you want it. For ingredients, I went a bit root crazy. Here’s the list:

  • Carrots
  • Red Yams
  • Rutabagas
  • Parsnips
  • Turnips
  • Red Potatoes
  • Red Beets
  • Celery Root
  • Whole Crimini Mushrooms
  • Yellow Onion

Peel and chop everything except the mushrooms into bite-size pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme until just coated. Bake in a large baking dish at 350 for 20 minutes.

We paired this with pumpernickel bread, warmed in the oven with a smidge of butter.

    what do you do with the mushrooms?

    (i have beets and came to your site to see what was your favorite way to have them! none of my cookbooks have very good beet ideas, and ive had too much bad luck grabbing random recipes off the web.)
