1 large butternut squash (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), peeled, halved and seeded
1 bunch medium beets (about 1 1/2 pounds), tops trimmed
1 medium red onion
1 bunch small carrots (about 8 ounces), peeled, stems attached

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the roasted vegetables: Put 2 baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut the parsnips, squash and beets into 1 1/2-inch pieces and put in a large bowl. Cut the onion through the stem into chunky pieces and add to the bowl along with the carrots and garlic. Add the olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper and toss together.

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES WITH GREMOLATA



Roasted Root Vegetables with Gremolata image

Look for young root vegetables that are small enough that you can leave a little of their stems on and preserve their natural shape. If you're using larger root vegetables, cut them in half lengthwise, place them cut side down on a cutting board, and slice on the diagonal. It's important to cut all the vegetables approximately the same size, so they cook evenly. I like to divide the root vegetables between two pans so they aren't too crowded.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
9 small or 3 medium carrots, peeled
9 small or 3 medium parsnips, peeled
9 small or 3 medium turnips
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup 1/4-inch-thick slices shallot
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the lemon zest on a cutting board and chop it coarsely. Place the garlic and parsley on top, and chop the whole mixture together until very fine. This mixture is called gremolata.
  • Slice the carrots and parsnips in half lengthwise, leaving the stems attached. If they are on the bigger side then slice each half lengthwise again, into long quarters. Clean the turnips, cut off the tails, and trim the stems, leaving 1/4 inch of the stems. Cut small turnips in halves or quarters; if they're larger, cut them in half and then into 1/2-inch wedges.
  • Heat 2 large sauté pans over high heat for 2 minutes. Swirl in the olive oil and wait 1 minute. Divide the carrots, parsnips, and turnips between the pans and season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the thyme. Cook 10 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables just start to caramelize.
  • Add the butter and sauté another 5 minutes, tossing them often. Add the shallots and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook another 5 minutes or so, until the shallots and all the vegetables are tender and nicely caramelized. If you're serving dinner soon, turn off the heat and hold them in the pan. Rewarm if necessary. Toss with the gremolata just before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose firm vegetables for roasting. Softer vegetables, like zucchini, will turn mushy when roasted.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss the vegetables with oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them brown and caramelize.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Stir the vegetables occasionally while roasting. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Make the pecan gremolata while the vegetables are roasting. This will allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the roasted vegetables with the pecan gremolata immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Roasted vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and nutritious meal on the table in no time.
