ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
A Thanksgiving tradition in our family. You can vary the vegetables to suit the tastes of your family--in fact, I would say this is more of a process than a recipe. I made up amounts of vegetables so that the recipe would post, but just use your favorites in whatever amounts you want. For example, my family likes this heavy on the beets and parsnips and light on the turnips.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: Choose firm, brightly colored vegetables that are free of blemishes. Root vegetables that are good for roasting include carrots, parsnips, turnips, sweet potatoes, and beets.
- Cut the vegetables evenly: Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. The ideal size is about 1-inch cubes.
- Toss the vegetables with oil and seasonings: Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. Toss the vegetables to coat them evenly.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit or 220 degrees Celsius) for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Stir the vegetables occasionally: Stir the vegetables every 10-15 minutes to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: Roasted root vegetables are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
