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
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
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.

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.

- 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.
