Fall is all about the changing colors, and for me, it's all about using root vegetables in creative and fun ways, too!
Here's a recipe that is family-friendly and pretty easy to put together. If you have other root vegetables you want to swap out or add in, it's a very gracious recipe and I think pretty much any combination would deliver deliciousness to you and yours.
Here's what I did, follow along if you'd like!
Cube all of the following root veggies:
4 small red potatoes - washed, not peeled
3-4 peeled carrots with ends cut off
3-4 peeled parsnips with ends cut off (these are the long white carrot-looking things you find at farmer's markets)
1 onion
3-4 small beets, peeled with ends cut off
Put together in your favorite Pyrex dish (I think I used the 1.5 Quart size), stir together with enough extra virgin olive oil to lightly coat the veggies. Season with a sprinkle of Kosher salt, stir again.
Put it in the oven at 375, with the glass lid on for 30 minutes. Stir and top with a sprig of rosemary, putting the lid back on and baking for another 30 minutes (or until vegetables are fork tender).
That's it! It's savory, with a little sweet from the beets, and tastes of everything fall!
And your kids don't need to know it's vegetables, just call it Rainbow Roast! Enjoy!
