OVEN ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES

Oven Roasted Winter Vegetables image

This is a Delia Smith recipe, which I love and use often, so thought I'd share. It introduced me to celeriac, which isn't the same as celery, by the way. You can prepare the vegetables a couple of days in advance, if need be, and keep sealed in a plastic bag in the fridge.

Ingredients

12 shallots, peeled
12 ounces peeled and deseeded butternut squash
12 ounces peeled sweet potatoes
12 ounces peeled swede
12 ounces peeled celeriac
1 tablespoon freshly chopped mixed herbs (rosemary and thyme, for example)
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to gas mark 7/425F/220°C.
You will need a large baking tray - approx 11 x 16 inches.
Cut the vegetables into large, chunky pieces - about 11/2 inches/4cm - leaving the celeriac unti last as it will discolour if left in the open air too long. Put vegetables in a large bowl, add the herbs, garlic, olive oil and lots of seasoning and mix (use your hands). Spread the vegetables out on the baking tray and cook in the pre-heated oven on a high shelf for 30 - 40 minutes, until they're tender and turning brown at the edges.

Tips:

Choose the right vegetables. The best vegetables for roasting are firm and have a slightly sweet flavor. Some good options include carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, squash, and Brussels sprouts.
Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may burn on the outside before the inside is cooked through. If the pieces are too small, they will cook too quickly and may become mushy.
Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings. This will help them brown and develop flavor. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil is a good choice. For seasonings, you can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other herbs or spices you like.
Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy exterior. The ideal temperature for roasting vegetables is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Roast the vegetables until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetables you are roasting, but most vegetables will take about 20-30 minutes to cook. You can check to see if the vegetables are done by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the vegetables are done.

Conclusion:

Roasted winter vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give roasted winter vegetables a try.
