Roasted Root Vegetables

Roasted vegetables are always a hit! This recipe works well with any combination so take your pick from your personal favourites (turnip, parsnip, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, potatoes – and add onions, fennel and or squash, if you like!)

This recipe is great to serve a crowd, as left-overs, used in Buddha Bowls, or added to a soup, so a larger batch is a good thing. Plus, this recipe is well suited to vegans and vegetarians, too!
