Roasted Winter Vegetables

Image may contain Food and Fries

{sweet and toothsome}Roasting is a no-fuss way to put a lot of vegetables on the table. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness in fall root veggies and winter squash. Roast them in big batches to topBaked Risotto, and throw them into fall and winter salads.

Ingredients

Serves 4 to 6

2 lb/910 kg winter squash or pumpkin, parsnips, carrots, beets/beetroots, or a mix
2 medium red or yellow onions, quartered
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Handful of fresh parsley, coarsely chopped, for garnish
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/gas 6. Peel and cut the vegetables into equal sized pieces, about 1-in/2.5-cm chunks. Toss vegetables and onions in olive oil in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Spread the pieces out in a single layer on one or two roasting pans/trays so that the vegetables don't touch. Roast until the veggies are lightly browned and just tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the vegetable. Remove and toss with additional olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley before serving.

P.S. Oven-Roasted Tomatoes

Baked tomatoes make a quick garnish or side to anything from Baked Risotto to Iron Skillet Steak. Replace the vegetables with 2 lb/910 kg halved plum tomatoes or small tomatoes on the vine and roast until they are just soft, about 30 minutes.

  • Many of us have been doing this for years (perhaps not 2 lbs at a time!); my addition is a splash of balsamic vinegar before going in the oven.
