ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES WITH CHERMOULA
Here, a medley of root vegetables and winter squash are roasted with chermoula (also spelled charmoula), a quintessential Moroccan spice combination. (Any combination will work in this dish; start with about 12 cups of peeled vegetable pieces.) Be sure to peel turnips well; their skin is thicker and more fibrous than other root vegetables'. Exchanges: 2 starch, 1 vegetable, 2 fat (2 Carbohydrate Servings). From EatingWell magazine, September/October 2008 and posted for ZWT 6 - North Africa / Middle Eastern region.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the bottom of your oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice all vegetables into chunks roughly 1 1/2 inches wide. The more similar the size of the vegetable pieces, the more evenly they will roast.Place cut vegetables into a large mixing bowl. Add 3 tbsp olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir until all vegetables are evenly coated with oil, spice and herbs.
- Brush large rimmed baking sheet with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Spread the vegetables out evenly on the baking sheet. Place the rosemary sprigs on top of the vegetables, evenly spaces across the sheet.Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15 minutes. Stir the vegetables, bringing the chunks from the outside towards the center and the chunks in the center out towards the edges. Return baking sheet to oven and continue to roast until the largest chunks are tender and the edges are starting to turn golden/dark, another 15-25 minutes.
- Remove the roasted rosemary sprigs and stir the vegetables (some leaves of rosemary will remain, this is good). Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Vegetables can be served warm or at room temperature.

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!

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.
- Carefully remove the heated baking sheets from the oven, brush or drizzle with olive oil. Divide the vegetables evenly between the 2 pans, spreading them out to assure they don't steam while roasting. Roast the vegetables until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Tips:
- Utilize a variety of root vegetables: Choose from vegetables like carrots, parsnips, turnips, and sweet potatoes. This adds color, texture, and flavor to the dish.
- Cut the vegetables uniformly: Ensure similar-sized pieces for even cooking. Chop larger vegetables like sweet potatoes into smaller chunks.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This caramelizes the natural sugars and creates a slightly crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender.
- Use parchment paper: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
- Make sure the vegetables are dry before roasting: Pat them dry with paper towels to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
- Season the vegetables generously: Use a combination of herbs, spices, salt, and pepper. Experiment with different flavors to suit your taste.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave enough space between the vegetable pieces for even cooking and browning.
- Roast until tender: The vegetables should be tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the type and size of the vegetables.
- Serve hot: Roasted root vegetables are best served immediately. They can be enjoyed as a side dish, salad component, or even as a main course.
