ROASTED AND MARINATED ROOT VEGETABLES
Crisp the vegetables up after they've had a chance to soak up the marinade-or don't, they're delicious at room temperature, or even served cold.

Steps:
- Prep:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Depending on the size and type of the root, peel it or not. Peel the dirty, gnarly beets. Sweet potato skins soften up when roasting, so leave those on. For thinner-skinned turnips, a good scrubbing will do.
- Cut the roots into chunks; I like them about 1 inch thick and 2 inches long. Cut the round roots through the equator and chunk them up from there. For sweet potatoes, cut them in half lengthwise, then again lengthwise, and then into 2-inch pieces. If you can find baby sweet potatoes, just cut those in half. There's no wrong way to do this; just keep all of your vegetables similar in size and shape so they cook evenly.
- Roast:
- Preheat an ovenproof sauté pan large enough to hold the root vegetables in one layer over medium-high heat. Add the rice bran, grapeseed, or olive oil and continue heating until the oil shimmers and is thinking about smoking. Carefully add the roots and let them caramelize on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Check to make sure they're not burning-lower the heat if they're scorching in some spots. Give the roots a toss in the pan (tongs work, too) and season with the salt, sugar, and pepper. Add the thyme and rosemary and transfer the pan to the oven.
- Cook until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender. Start checking with the tip of a sharp knife after 6 minutes and continue to check every 5 minutes. They're done when they're easily pierced all the way through. The beets will cook in about 30 minutes, the turnips in just 10 minutes or less, and the sweet potatoes in 20 minutes. This will depend on the age, variety, and cut of the vegetable, so use your senses (including common sense) and check often.
- Marinate:
- Spoon the roasted vegetables into a large bowl. Discard the herb stems. Add the orange juice or vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, and chile flakes. Toss until well coated.
- Serve:
- You can serve at this point, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
MARINATED ROASTED VEGETABLES
Clean out your vegetable bin and serve a gourmet-quality side dish! This one is really a no-brainer and you'll love the subtle boost in the hearty flavor of these roasted vegetables. I have listed specific vegetables, but use whatever you have, including cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, parsnips, etc. Preparation time includes 2 hours of marinating time. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Blend all ingredients except for the vegetables in a large mixing bowl to make the marinade. Pour in the vegetables and stir them around so that they get initially coated with marinade.
- Marinate the vegetables in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, stirring once or twice.
- Place the vegetables, with all the marinade, in an 9" x 13" (or larger) casserole dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake on the middle rack in a pre-heated oven at 375-degrees F. for 45 minutes.
- Serve hot.
- TIP: Sometimes the potatoes and carrots I use in this recipe are a little flaccid -- so, to fix that problem, all I do is soak them in really cold water (after they're peeled) for about 2 hours before marinating and they crisp right up!

Steps:
- Place 2 baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Cut all the vegetables into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Cut the onions through the base core to keep some of the layers in chunky pieces. Toss all the vegetables with garlic, olive oil and salt in large bowl. Season generously with pepper.

Divide the vegetables evenly between the 2 pans, spreading them out to assure they don't steam while roasting.

SAVORY ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
Beets were my sworn enemy until I tried them like this, it's a great way to use root vegetables. I think the beets add a beautiful red color to the dish, but if it bothers you to serve pinkish vegetables, substitute parsnips, rutabaga, or any similar vegetable; be creative!

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
Root vegetables (with the exception of potatoes and carrots) are some of the most overlooked and under appreciated food stuffs around. But these nutritional storehouses are hidden treasures worthy of your notice. Not only are they available in winter when other vegetables are hard to find, they are also very inexpensive. Experiment with turnips, rutabagas, beets and parsnips, and learn what they have to offer in taste and versatility. Rutabaga (also known as swede) is an accidental vegetable -- the result of a chance hybridization of turnips and cabbage. Like carrots, they're low in sodium and high in vitamin C. The flavor of all root vegetables will be enhanced by selecting fresh, firm produce (preferably organically grown) and storing it carefully. Turnips and potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark place out of the refrigerator. The rest of these roots will keep well in the refrigerator for at least a week. From Dr. Weil

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
Use any vegetables you like to make this roasted root vegetable medley; add liquid as they cook to keep them slightly moistened.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Scrub vegetables and peel as desired. Cut into 1-to-2-inch pieces (they should all be of similar size).
- Place butter in a roasting pan and heat in oven until melted. Add vegetables, 1/4 cup of stock, and salt and pepper. Stir well to coat, and return to oven.
- Cook vegetables for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally and adding more stock as needed to keep vegetables slightly moist. Vegetables are done when tender and golden brown. Stir in herbs and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables. For roasting, choose root vegetables that are firm and have a sweet flavor, such as carrots, parsnips, turnips, and beets.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly. Larger vegetables, such as beets and turnips, should be cut into 1-inch cubes. Smaller vegetables, such as carrots and parsnips, can be cut into rounds or halves.
- Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings. This will help them brown and develop flavor. Use a light oil, such as olive oil or grapeseed oil. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them caramelize and get crispy on the outside. Roast the vegetables at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
- Serve the roasted vegetables immediately. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course. Roasted vegetables can also be used in salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
Conclusion:
Roasted and marinated root vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste.
