Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings (8 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large butternut squash, (1 1/2 to 2 pounds) halved, seeded and peeled
3 large Yukon gold potatoes (1 1/2 pounds), scrubbed
1 bunch medium beets, (about 1 1/2 pounds), scrubbed and tops trimmed
1 medium red onion
2 large parsnips (about 8 ounces)
1 head garlic, cloves separated, and peeled (about 16)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

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.

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES



Roasted Root Vegetables image

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 WITH WALNUTS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 medium carrots (about 1/2 pound)
2 medium turnips (about 1/2 pound) or 1/2 a medium head of root celery (about 1/2 pound)
1/2 pound baby beets
3 medium potatoes (about 1 pound)
8 shallots
8 garlic cloves
1/2 cup walnut oil or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Allow 5 to10 minutes for this before you begin the recipe. Trim all the vegetables except the shallots and garlic, leaving a little of any green tops. Scrub them clean with a pot scrubber in cold water, then dry them on a dish towel. In a 9 by 13-inch roasting pan heat the oil over medium heat, add the vegetables as you cut them. Quarter the carrots and the turnips; if using, cut the celery in 4 wedges, halving each wedge. Halve the beets and cut the potatoes in 2 to 3 pieces. Add the shallots and garlic in their skins. Mix sugar, nutmeg, allspice, walnuts, salt and pepper in a small bowl, sprinkle them over the vegetables and mix well. Cover with foil and roast the vegetables in the heated oven until they are tender and browned, 45 to 55 minutes. If you have time, stir them occasionally so they brown evenly. Alternatively, if using the microwave, transfer the vegetables and flavorings to a microwave dish and cover with wrap. Cook 8 minutes at high, stir and cook another 8 minutes. Stir again and cook uncovered 4 to 6 minutes until tender.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 2 1/2-pound butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 bunch beets (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed but not peeled, scrubbed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium-size red onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
1 large turnip, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
1 head of garlic, cloves separated, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Oil 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Combine all ingredients in very large bowl; toss to coat. Divide vegetables between prepared baking sheets; spread evenly.

Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 350°F oven 15 minutes.)

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a variety of root vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and turnips. You can also add other vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, squash, or beets.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to caramelize and brown.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature, such as 425 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Check the vegetables frequently while they are roasting. You want them to be tender and slightly caramelized, but not mushy.
  • Make the walnut pesto while the vegetables are roasting. This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Serve the roasted root vegetables with the walnut pesto. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, if desired.

Conclusion:

Roasted root vegetables with walnut pesto is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The vegetables are roasted until they are tender and slightly caramelized, and the walnut pesto adds a nutty and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
