Festive roasted root veggies

Before cooking

I found the recipe that inspired this dish by following Dr. Weil on Twitter. He tweeted this recipe. I pretty much did exactly what he suggested but I only used some of the veggies he suggested. I didn’t include potatoes, as I accidentally used all of them for the potato soup I made and then I forgot the carrots.

The yellow veggie is a beet. I didn’t use red beets.

This is what I did:

2 turnips

5 small parsnips

1 super large golden beet

1 very large red onion cut into 6 large pieces and divided up some

a few sprigs of rosemary

12 cloves of garlic (which I cooked with the veggies from beginning to end unlike Weil’s recipe)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Olive oil to taste

Balsamic vinegar to taste

I mixed everything but the balsamic up at the beginning and then roasted the whole thing in a roasting pan. I added the balsamic towards the end of the roasting time. I’m sorry but I didn’t notice how long it took, maybe and hour or an hour and a half.

    I have never heard of yellow beets – really! I like to roast root veggies. Slop some maple syrup on them and they are crusty sweet.

    This looks really good! I need to get out there and try some parsnips, I think.

    Hi Tina, the beets are actually a not very attractive orange on the outside but bright yellow on the inside. I’ve never made this before…your variation sounds nice.

    I love parsnips…I’d never even heard of them before I met my husband who ate them growing up in Britain. Now I like to get them regularly. My husband who rarely cooks on his own (though he does take direction from me from time to time!) makes a killer roasted parsnip dish with tamari and something else I think…I don’t remember what’s in it but it’s really really good.
