Roasted Winter Vegetables
Ingredients
- 2 medium red beets, cleaned
- 2 medium yellow beets, cleaned
- 3 small fingerling potatoes, cleaned
- 2 large yellow onions, cut into 1” wedges
- ½ cup olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 large parsnips, peeled, rinsed, and cut into 1" pieces
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap the red and yellow beets individually in aluminum foil. Place wrapped beets onto a 9” x 13” baking dish; bake for about 1 hour or until tender. Allow beets to cool until you’re able to handle them. Unwrap beets; peel and cut into 1” pieces. Place cut beets in a large bowl big enough to eventually hold all vegetables, cut; cover with plastic wrap and keep warm. Place potatoes and onions in a bowl and add in half of the oil. Season potatoes and onions with salt and pepper; stir to coat. Spread potatoes and onions on a baking sheet. Place Brussels sprouts and parsnips in the bowl and add in remaining oil. Season Brussels sprouts and parsnips with salt and pepper; stir to coat. Spread Brussels sprouts and parsnips on another baking sheet. Place vegetables in the oven and bake for about 1 hour or until vegetables are browned and tender. Transfer vegetables to the bowl with the beets. Add in rosemary and thyme; stir. Adjust seasonings, if desired. SERVES 8-10
