Oven Roasted Root Vegetables

I don’t particularly love fussy combinations or complicated recipes when making vegetables. Steamed vegetables are my go-to choice for busy days… but when I have a bit of extra time I adore roasted vegetables.

A-D-O-R-E!

Love them so much I make an extra big batch so I can eat roast vegetable leftovers for lunch (for days and days).

Love them so much I eat them cold.

Love them so much that I am writing this ode to root vegetables for all to read.

Have you ever roasted vegetables?

Roasting gives root vegetablesa delightfully tender and fluffy inside with firm,slightly chewy outside. It elevates even boring root vegetables into something exciting.

Plus, the high temperature used in this recipeenhances the natural sweetness of the vegetables and caramelizes the edges. Those darkbrown edges are so delicious. They cannot be beat!

Cast Iron for Perfect Roast Vegetables

I roast my vegetables in a deep cast iron skillet for best results. The cast iron retains oven heat better than other baking pans. Direct contact with the super-hot cast iron surface helpsroast vegetables achieve a perfect golden-browncolor.

My go-tofall and winter side dish is Oven Roasted Root Vegetables. It’s quick to throw together and adds a lovely splash of color to your winter table. As a bonus root vegetables are generally affordable in the cooler months, so this side dish will not break the bank.

This recipe uses sweet potatoes, potatoes, carrots and beets. You can also add parsnips and turnips to the mix if your family enjoys those vegetables.

Be aware that choosing red beets will turn the other items a bit crimson. It doesn’t bother our family, but you can substitute golden beets if you prefer your vegetables less pink!
