Description

{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 top Baked Risotto , and throw them into fall and winter salads.

Ingredients

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

Directions

  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.
  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.
