Miso Maple Roasted Root Vegetables Recipes

OVEN-ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place 2 baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Cut all the vegetables into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Cut the onions through the base core to keep some of the layers in chunky pieces. Toss all the vegetables with garlic, olive oil and salt in large bowl. Season generously with pepper.
• Carefully remove the heated baking sheets from the oven, brush or drizzle with olive oil. Divide the vegetables evenly between the 2 pans, spreading them out to assure they don't steam while roasting. Roast the vegetables until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

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.
