Categories     Dinner     Side Dish

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 medium carrots (peeled)
1 medium celery root (peeled, or 1 bunch celery trimmed)
2 medium turnips (peeled)
2 medium parsnips (peeled)
6 small new potatoes (peeled)
1 medium butternut squash (peeled and seeds removed)
8 to 10 shallots (peeled)
1 whole bulb garlic (cloves separated and peeled)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 bunch fresh thyme or rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-heat your oven to 375 F.
  • Pull the little leaves off of the fresh herb stems until you have about a tablespoon of them. Set them aside along with another few whole sprigs of the herbs.
  • Cut the carrots, turnips, parsnips, potatoes, squash, and celery (or celery root) into about 1-inch pieces. Cutting the vegetables the same size helps ensure they cook evenly.
  • Transfer the cut vegetables, along with the shallots and garlic, to a large baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil, season with kosher salt and black pepper, sprinkle with the herb leaves and toss to combine. Place the whole herb sprigs in the pan with the veggies.
  • Roast for 45 minutes or until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender but not too soft.
  • Remove the whole herb sprigs from the pan and let the vegetables cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

SLOW-ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES RECIPE



Slow-Roasted Winter Vegetables Recipe image

Swap a whole turkey for whole vegetables as your holiday showstopper. Use the best-looking vegetables here, ideally in a mix of colors. They're impressive kept whole, but you can cut some into smaller pieces too for variety on the platter. You can garnish the platter with fresh herbs, such as sage and rosemary, and fresh fruit, such as concord grapes. Arrange the vegetables like a cornucopia and present them to the table, then carve them into slices and wedges, as you would a classic Thanksgiving centerpiece. From the story: No one likes turkey anyway, so make this easy masterpiece instead

Time 2h

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 whole delicata, butternut or other winter squash
2 whole celery root
1 large or 2 regular whole cauliflower or romanesco broccoli
6 tablespoons everyday extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Poultry Seasoning
Kosher salt
Bourbon Mushroom Gravy
2 teaspoons dried sage
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
2 teaspoons dried savory or thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano or marjoram
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ cup everyday extra-virgin olive oil
6 large shallots (10 ounces), quartered lengthwise then thinly sliced crosswise
8 large garlic cloves, halved lengthwise then thinly sliced crosswise
1 ½ pounds whole cremini mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
4 sprigs thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ ounce dried porcini mushrooms, finely ground
¼ cup bourbon
1 cup vegetable or mushroom broth, plus more

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Peel the squash, halve it lengthwise or cut into thick slices, and scoop out the seeds. Trim both ends of the celery roots and scrub very well or peel. Poke the celery root all over with a paring knife. Trim the bottoms of the cauliflower so they can sit flat.
  • Put the vegetables on the prepared sheet and rub them all over with the oil. (An even and generous coat of oil will ensure the vegetables brown properly and attractively.) Sprinkle everything evenly with the Poultry Seasoning and generously season with salt. Rearrange them in a single layer, with the squash cut sides down. Place the pan in the oven and pour ¼ cup water onto the sheet.
  • Bake, basting every 45 minutes, until a paring knife slides through each vegetable easily, about 1 hour for the squash, 1 ¾ hours for the cauliflower and 2 hours for the celery root. The time will range depending on the size and density of the vegetables. As each vegetable is done, carefully transfer it to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Serve with the gravy.
  • Pulse the sage, rosemary, savory, oregano and peppercorns in a spice grinder until coarsely ground. If you don't have a spice grinder, substitute 3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper for the whole peppercorns and rub the dried herbs between your fingers to crush them. Stir in the nutmeg until well-mixed.
  • Combine the oil, shallots, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring often (you don't want them to stick or burn), until the shallots are translucent and tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the creminis, thyme and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms release their juices and then reabsorb them, about 25 minutes. They'll start sizzling in the oil again.
  • Add the mushroom powder and stir for 1 minute. Add the bourbon and stir well, scraping up any bits from the pan, until the alcohol burns off, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Discard the 4 thyme stems and season to taste with salt and pepper. For a thinner gravy, add more broth. Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.

SLOW-ROASTED WINTER VEGETABLES

This is a mixture my husband came up with using what we had on hand in the fall, and it became a favorite. The first effort for these slow-roasted vegetables was on the BBQ, but it works just as well in the oven. Tastes even better re-heated, and makes great addition to soups and pot pies.

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lb/910 kg winter squash or pumpkin, parsnips, carrots, beets/beetroots, or a mix
2 medium red or yellow onions, quartered
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Handful of fresh parsley, coarsely chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/gas 6. Peel and cut the vegetables into equal sized pieces, about 1-in/2.5-cm chunks. Toss vegetables and onions in olive oil in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the pieces out in a single layer on one or two roasting pans/trays so that the vegetables don't touch. Roast until the veggies are lightly browned and just tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the vegetable. Remove and toss with additional olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, ripe vegetables for roasting. Avoid vegetables that are bruised or damaged.
  • Cut vegetables into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly.
  • Toss vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
  • Roast vegetables at a high temperature, around 425°F (220°C). This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Roast vegetables until they are tender and slightly browned. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of vegetable.
  • Serve roasted vegetables immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Roasted winter vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to add more vegetables to your diet and they can also be used as a topping for salads, soups, and stews. With a variety of vegetables to choose from and endless flavor combinations to explore, roasted winter vegetables are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed all season long.
