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

EASY ONE TRAY ROASTED ONIONS AND ROOT VEGETABLES
An easily pre-prepared Christmas vegetable side dish - or for any large festive or celebration gathering throughout the year - using vegetables in season. These roast away without hardly any attention & can be peeled & chopped up to 2 days before cooking & stored in a ziplock bag with the juice of one lemon squeezed over them. Use whatever root vegetables you have in season or that are available - this combination of vegetables is the one that works best for me. Adding garlic works well too, but be careful it does not overpower the flavour of the meal!

SEAN'S MOMMY'S ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
I wanted to do something different as a vegetable side dish. It was Thanksgiving, so I got a bunch of root vegetables and roasted them. They were a hit and are now a staple at our holiday table. I cook them during the year sometimes, as well.

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
"As a confirmed New Englander, I was surprised to find a terrific seafood restaurant in Phoenix: Steamers Genuine," says Barbara J. Johnson of Worcester, Massachusetts. "The baked halibut was perfectly complemented by roasted vegetables and potatoes au gratin. I know how to make the fish, but I wouldn't know where to start with the other two dishes." This side dish and the [Potato Gratin with White Cheddar Cheese](/recipes/recipe_views/views/103143) would also be good with roast chicken or beef.

For a quick and simple side that never disappoints, try our Roasted Vegetables side dish. With roasted carrots, zucchini and onions, this colorful dish is packed with flavor. Save time prepping this sheet-pan side, and purchase packaged baby-cut carrots rather than whole carrots. Vegan or not, between the roasted zucchini, carrots and potatoes, there's something for everyone in this side. Prior to serving, we love sprinkling fresh herbs on the dish for a pop of color.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: For the best results, choose root vegetables that are firm and evenly shaped. Avoid any that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too small, they will overcook and become mushy. If they are too large, they will take too long to cook and may not be tender in the center.
- Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings: This will help them to brown and caramelize in the oven. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil is a good choice. As for seasonings, salt and pepper are always a good start. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or thyme.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and develop a nice roasted flavor. The ideal temperature is 425 degrees Fahrenheit. If your oven doesn't go that high, you can roast the vegetables at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly browned: This will usually take about 30 minutes, but it may take longer or shorter depending on the size and type of vegetables you are roasting.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: Roasted vegetables are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. You can serve them as a side dish or as a main course. If you are serving them as a side dish, you can pair them with grilled chicken, fish, or steak.
Conclusion:
Roasted root vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can roast vegetables that are perfectly tender, caramelized, and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give roasted root vegetables a try!
