Fall Roasted Root Vegetables
Roasted Vegetables are a staple in my kitchen in the Fall. There are so many things to do with roasted veggies that in the Fall when the root vegetables start coming in I roast a big batch once a week to serve with Pasta and a splash of Olive Oil and Balsamic or turn them into Soup, Roasted Veggie Lasagna, Tacos, Ratatouille or just to have as a great side dish. There are tons of combinations of veggies that all taste great together. For Oven Roasted Fall Vegetables I use Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Peppers, Squash, Onions,Parsnips, Garlic and Tomatoes tossed with Smokey Sea Salt and Fresh Rosemary but any combination you have in your veg box will work.

Any combination of root vegetables work well for roasting. Don't crowd the pan, you want them to roast, not steam. I do three cookie sheets and cook them on convection.
