ROSEMARY ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Peel and trim the parsnips and carrots. Cut the slender ends into 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-inch lengths. Cut the fat ends in half lengthwise and then into 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-inch lengths.
• Peel and trim the turnips. If small, cut them into wedges about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick. If large, cut the turnip in half through the equator, then cut into wedges. Peel the sweet potatoes. Cut in half lengthwise and then slice lengthwise about 1/2 inch thick; cut slices into 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-inch sections.
• In a 9x13-inch baking dish, toss the parsnips, carrots, turnips, sweet potatoes, and shallots with the oil and salt. Roast for 25 minutes. Add the rosemary and garlic, toss again, and continue roasting until the vegetables are browned and tender, another 20 to 25 minutes. Scrape out into a serving dish, sprinkle with the pepper, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• 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.
• Variations:
• Though they break the root veggie theme, brussels sprouts and/or thinly sliced red onions are terrific additions, lending a nice contrasting flavor and color.
• 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.
