Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel vegetables (optional) and cut them into 1- to 2-inch chunks, put them in a baking pan and toss with the oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Put the vegetables in the oven and roast without stirring for 20 minutes, then check. If they look dry and are sticking to the pan, drizzle with more oil. Continue roasting, stirring or turning the vegetables once, for another 20 minutes or so. Stir in the herbs, then return the pan to the oven for another 20 to 40 minutes, until crisp. Remove from the oven. Garnish with rosemary or thyme.

Include in your veg mix several (peeled) whole cloves of garlic and some shallots, quartered if large, otherwise halved. Before final 20 minutes of roasting, add a mixture of 2-3 T red wine vinegar and 2-3 T brown sugar. Enjoy!

Couldn't be easier. I basically emptied my vegetable drawer: carrots, parsnips, turnips, celery root, onions, shallots, tossed them with the olive oil, turned at 20 minutes and added thyme, and cooked for another 20 minutes. Then let them sit in cooling down oven until ready to serve.
This has been a winter staple in our house for years, originally from a version in How to Cook Everything. Over the years, I’ve learned to stagger putting the vegetables in so that beets, rutabagas, celery root are the same texture as turnips, potatoes, etc. Also, agree with others who find the time too long at the chop size specified. 40 minutes is plenty
I added golden and red beets roasted a head of time since they take more time and also added red onion. This gave the mix more color and a touch of sweetness.
This was a great way to use the two heads of Romanesco cauliflower I got from my CSA, along with carrots and potatoes as well as onion and garlic. I added herbes de Provence toward the end. I cook for one so I plan to have roasted vegetable soup with the leftovers.
