ORANGE GINGER ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Wisk the remaining ingredients for the orange ginger marinade and evenly pour over the bowl of vegetables.
• Let them marinate for an hour and then spread the root vegetables on a non-stick cooking sheet. Make sure to pour the remaining marinade left in the bowl over the vegetables.
• Roast for 35-40 mins or until they're golden brown on the edges.
