Roasted Root Vegetables

With winter veggies, it’s easy to throw everything in the oven and have a nice roasted medley for dinner. You can pair this with a soup or heartier entree. I used a yam, some turnips from the farm, and brussels sprouts. Other root or winter vegetables would work well too for this dish of roasted root vegetables – like onions, carrots, or potatoes.


Ingredients

1 large yam or sweet potato
6 small turnips or potatoes
1 lb brussels sprouts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp each rosemary and oregano
Walnuts and cranberries (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste


Directions

Wash, peel, and chop the vegetables up into bite-sized pieces. Put in a glass baking dish. Add the olive oil, spices, salt and pepper, and toss to coat all the veggies. Feel free to use your hands!

Bake at 475F for 35 minutes until they’re nice and soft and roasty. Stir half-way through to ensure even cooking. Serve your roasted root vegetables as a side dish or its own meal. So easy!
