ROASTED WINTER ROOT VEGETABLES
These roasted root vegetables are colorful and delicious. More importantly, they can be partially prepared so as to ease the amount of preparation on turkey day. I often serve them with roast beef as well. The recipe can be easily scaled to suit a smaller yield.

Steps:
- Place the rutabaga in a pan and cover with water. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes. Drain well, and cool completely. Repeat steps to cook the parsnips and carrots.
- Place completely cooled vegetables in resealable freezer bags. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 days, or freeze up to 1 month. To thaw the vegetables, refrigerate overnight and drain.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Pour the vegetable oil into a rimmed baking dish. Place the vegetables into a large mixing bowl and toss with the basil, salt, and pepper. Place the pan in preheated oven to heat for 5 minutes. Add the vegetables and toss to coat with the oil.
- Roast vegetables in preheated oven, turning every 10 minutes, until tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

ROASTED WINTER ROOT VEGETABLES WITH APPLE CIDER
From Bon Appetit November 1997. This would be the perfect side dish for the Thanksgiving meal! To be honest, I substitute another root vegetable for the turnips; i.e, kohlrabi, potatoes, celeriac, etc.

Steps:
- Combine the apple cider and wine in a heavy saucepan and reduce to 3/4 cup. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Whisk in the butter until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Peel all the vegetables and cut in to 1/2 inch pieces.
- Use the largest roast pan you own (or use two roasting pans and divide the vegetables). Pour the prepared apple cider/wine mixture over the vegetables. Stir to coat.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender and golden, stirring occasionally and cook approximately 40 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables. For best results, choose firm, unblemished vegetables that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly. Some good options include carrots, parsnips, turnips, beets, and sweet potatoes.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will also help them cook evenly. If the vegetables are too big, they will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
- Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings. This will help them brown and develop flavor. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil is a good choice. As for seasonings, you can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other herbs and spices that you like.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy exterior. The ideal temperature is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetable and the size of the pieces. In general, most vegetables will take about 20-30 minutes to roast.
Conclusion:
Roasted winter root vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Plus, they are easy to make and can be roasted in advance. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give roasted winter root vegetables a try. You won't be disappointed!
