Roasted Root Vegetables

• 1 winter squash and/or sweet potato 

• 2 parsnips 

• 2 carrots 

• 2 turnips or 1 large rutabaga 

• 1 daikon radish 

• 1 -2 beets 

• 1 -2 Tbsp olive oil 

• Salt and pepper to taste 

• Herbs: rosemary, thyme or sage (fresh if possible)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash and chop all vegetables into large bite-sized pieces. 

Place in a large baking dish with sides. Drizzle with olive oil; mix well to coat each vegetable lightly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and herbs. 

Bake covered for 25-35 minutes, until vegetables are tender and golden brown, checking every 10 minutes to stir and make sure veggies are not sticking.

Note: Any combination of vegetables will work. Roasting only one kind of vegetable also makes a nice side dish.
