ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES



Roasted Root Vegetables image

Root vegetables (with the exception of potatoes and carrots) are some of the most overlooked and under appreciated food stuffs around. But these nutritional storehouses are hidden treasures worthy of your notice. Not only are they available in winter when other vegetables are hard to find, they are also very inexpensive. Experiment with turnips, rutabagas, beets and parsnips, and learn what they have to offer in taste and versatility. Rutabaga (also known as swede) is an accidental vegetable -- the result of a chance hybridization of turnips and cabbage. Like carrots, they're low in sodium and high in vitamin C. The flavor of all root vegetables will be enhanced by selecting fresh, firm produce (preferably organically grown) and storing it carefully. Turnips and potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark place out of the refrigerator. The rest of these roots will keep well in the refrigerator for at least a week. From Dr. Weil

INDIAN ROOT VEGETABLES

Looking at several root vegetables milling around the kitchen, I came up with this recipe that spices up these veggies with typical Indian spices and a few other fun additions. Tomatoes help make a pseudo-gravy. Serve with basmati rice. Reduce number of red peppers to reduce heat-spice, if you can't hack it.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: For this recipe, firm vegetables like potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and turnips work best. Vegetables like beets and squash can also be used, but they may need to be roasted for a shorter amount of time.
  • Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. For smaller vegetables like fingerling potatoes or baby carrots, you can leave them whole. For larger vegetables, cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: This will help the vegetables brown and caramelize. You can also use coconut oil or avocado oil.
  • Season the vegetables well: A simple combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder is all you need. You can also add other spices like cumin, coriander, or paprika.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Roast them at 425°F for 20-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Roasted vegetables are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
