Ingredients for Roasted Root Vegetables

• 1 large sweet potato, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, and sliced

• 2 medium beets (red or golden), peeled and cut into bite-size chunks 3 to 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices, or about 130g baby carrots

• 2 to 3 medium parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

• 1 large or 2 medium turnips, peeled and cut into large chunks

• 1 cucharada de aceite de oliva virgen extra

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup, blackstrap molasses, or agave nectar

• Pinch each of ground cinnamon and nutmeg

• Fresh rosemary leaves to taste (optional)

• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Precalienta el horno a 218°C.

Combine all the vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

Drizzle in the oil and maple syrup, then sprinkle in the cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir together.

Transfer the mixture to a lightly oiled large roasting pan (lined with parchment if you like). Bake for 30 minutes, more or less, stirring every 10 minutes or so. The vegetables should be tender on the inside and touched with golden brown on the outside.

Toward the end of the cooking time, sprinkle on some fresh rosemary leaves, if desired. Season with salt and pepper; then transfer to a covered serving container. Serve immediately or keep warm until mealtime.

Though they break the root veggie theme, brussels sprouts and/or thinly sliced red onions are terrific additions, lending a nice contrasting flavour and colour.

Stir in ribbons of collards or lacinato kale about 10 minutes before the vegetables are done.

Experiment with other root veggies, including ordinary white or yellow potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, Chioggia beets, rutabagas, and daiko.
