Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 medium carrots (peeled)
1 medium celery root (peeled, or 1 bunch celery trimmed)
2 medium turnips (peeled)
2 medium parsnips (peeled)
6 small new potatoes (peeled)
1 medium butternut squash (peeled and seeds removed)
8 to 10 shallots (peeled)
1 whole bulb garlic (cloves separated and peeled)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 bunch fresh thyme or rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-heat your oven to 375 F.
  • Pull the little leaves off of the fresh herb stems until you have about a tablespoon of them. Set them aside along with another few whole sprigs of the herbs.
  • Cut the carrots, turnips, parsnips, potatoes, squash, and celery (or celery root) into about 1-inch pieces. Cutting the vegetables the same size helps ensure they cook evenly.
  • Transfer the cut vegetables, along with the shallots and garlic, to a large baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil, season with kosher salt and black pepper, sprinkle with the herb leaves and toss to combine. Place the whole herb sprigs in the pan with the veggies.
  • Roast for 45 minutes or until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender but not too soft.
  • Remove the whole herb sprigs from the pan and let the vegetables cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

SLOW-ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES



Slow-Roasted Winter Vegetables image

This is a mixture my husband came up with using what we had on hand in the fall, and it became a favorite. The first effort for these slow-roasted vegetables was on the BBQ, but it works just as well in the oven. Tastes even better re-heated, and makes great addition to soups and pot pies.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Vegetables: Select firm and fresh winter vegetables that are in season for the best flavor and texture. Some popular options include butternut squash, carrots, parsnips, turnips, potatoes, and Brussels sprouts.
  • Cut Vegetables Evenly: Cut the vegetables into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. This will help prevent some vegetables from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the vegetables well with salt, pepper, and herbs. This will help bring out their natural flavors and make the dish more flavorful.
  • Roast at High Temperature: Roasting the vegetables at a high temperature will help caramelize them and give them a slightly crispy exterior. Aim for a temperature between 425°F and 450°F.
  • Toss the Vegetables: Toss the vegetables halfway through the roasting process to ensure that they cook evenly and brown on all sides.
  • Add Flavorful Herbs: Incorporate fresh or dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, sage, or parsley to enhance the flavor of the roasted vegetables.
