As the autumn leaves begin to fall and the air turns crisp, it's time to embrace the warm, comforting flavors of roasted vegetables. This trio of roasted squash, parsnips, and carrots is a classic combination that showcases the best of the fall harvest.

Together, these vegetables create a medley of flavors that is both satisfying and nutritious.

This recipe is incredibly versatile and can be tailored to your own preferences. You can choose to roast the vegetables with olive oil, butter, or a combination of both. You can also add your favorite herbs and spices to enhance the flavor. For a touch of extra sweetness, you can drizzle the vegetables with maple syrup or honey before roasting. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can even add a sprinkle of chili powder or cumin for a spicy kick.

No matter how you choose to prepare them, roasted squash, parsnips, and carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any fall meal. They can be served alongside roasted chicken or turkey, or they can be enjoyed on their own as a light lunch or snack.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds parsnips, peeled
1 pound carrots, unpeeled
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill or parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • If the parsnips and carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Slice each diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. The vegetables will shrink while cooking, so don't make the pieces too small. Place the cut vegetables on a sheet pan. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss well. Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender. Sprinkle with dill and serve hot.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds honeynut or butternut squash, halved lengthwise (from 2 to 3 honeynuts or 1 large butternut)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for frying and drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound parsnips (4 to 5 medium), peeled and halved lengthwise
2 pounds leeks (3 medium), white and light-green parts only, halved lengthwise and thoroughly washed and drained
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves, plus whole leaves for frying
2 Granny Smith apples (1 pound), halved and cored
1 quart low-sodium chicken broth
1 stick unsalted butter
Toasted pepitas, toasted sesame seeds, and poppy seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Scoop seeds and pulp from squash; discard. (Or lightly coat seeds in oil, season with salt, and roast on a rimmed baking sheet until crisp and darkened slightly, about 20 minutes; let cool and reserve for garnish.) On a rimmed baking sheet, rub squash halves with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt; turn cut-sides down. On another rimmed baking sheet, toss parsnips and leeks with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, season with salt, and sprinkle evenly with thyme and chopped sage; spread in a single layer.
  • Roast 30 minutes. Add apples to sheet with squash, cut-sides up. Continue roasting until vegetables turn golden brown in places and are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes more. When cool enough to handle, scoop flesh from squash; transfer half to a blender with half of other vegetables and apples, 2 cups broth, and 1 cup water. Puree until smooth, adding more water as needed if too thick to self-level. Pour through a sieve into a pot. Repeat process with remaining vegetables, apples, broth, and 1 more cup water.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until fragrant and golden brown and dark-brown sediment particles form in bottom of pan, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir brown butter into soup; season with salt and pepper. Rewarm soup over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally and adding more water as necessary until it reaches desired consistency.
  • Wipe pan clean. Heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium-high. When it shimmers, add a handful of sage leaves; cook, stirring a few times, until darkened slightly, 20 to 30 seconds. Transfer to paper towels, season with salt, and let stand until cool and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Fry more sage as desired. Serve soup topped with crisped sage, pepitas, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and a drizzle of oil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: For the best results, choose firm, fresh vegetables that are free of blemishes. Look for squashes that are heavy for their size, parsnips that are smooth and white, and carrots that are bright orange and firm.
  • Cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too small, they will overcook and become mushy. If they are too large, they will take too long to cook and may not be tender in the center.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil and seasonings: This will help them to brown and caramelize in the oven. You can use any seasonings you like, but some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them to caramelize and develop a nice crispy exterior. The ideal temperature is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Keep an eye on the vegetables while they are roasting: They can burn easily, so it is important to stir them occasionally and remove them from the oven when they are tender.

Conclusion:

Roasted squash, parsnips, and carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be roasted in just 30 minutes. With their sweet and savory flavor, they are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give roasted squash, parsnips, and carrots a try.
