Root vegetables (with the exception of potatoes and carrots) are some of the most overlooked and under appreciated food stuffs around. But these nutritional storehouses are hidden treasures worthy of your notice. Not only are they available in winter when other vegetables are hard to find, they are also very inexpensive. Experiment with turnips, rutabagas, beets and parsnips, and learn what they have to offer in taste and versatility. Rutabaga (also known as swede) is an accidental vegetable — the result of a chance hybridization of turnips and cabbage. Like carrots, they're low in sodium and high in vitamin C. The flavor of all root vegetables will be enhanced by selecting fresh, firm produce (preferably organically grown) and storing it carefully. Turnips and potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark place out of the refrigerator. The rest of these roots will keep well in the refrigerator for at least a week. From Dr. Weil

Made this for Christmas dinner, and it was great. I love roasted veg, and these were simple and tasty. The cooking time was way off for me, possibly due to the vast amount I made or the veggies I chose...ended up roasting for close to 2 hours. Final result was very nice though - thanks!

I LOVE root vegetables, especially when they are oven-baked and when the weather is cooler. This is such an easy recipe. Even the peeling of all those vegetables is somehow satisfying: grounding perhaps! I used potatoes and sweet potatoes, baby carrots, parsnips and one turnip. And for once felt no need to increase the amount of garlic. I confess to using salt. I added mixed dried Italian herbs to the vegetables before they went in the oven, and added some chopped fresh thyme just before they were served. Delicious!

I often do roasties with herbs, but less often with garlic. Thank you Rita, for reminding me of this flavour combination. I used rosemary infused olive oil as well as fresh rosemary.
