Have you ever walked through the produce section and thought, “there are SO MANY VEGGIES! I would love to try them all, but it would take me years” ...? I have that thought pretty often. I’m always floored by Spring’s greens, Summer’s berries, Fall’s squash, and Winter’s roots. There are such beautiful fresh foods available and I feel like I’d have to come up with a highly strategic meal plan to enjoy each one at least once before the season passes. THAT desire, to try them all, is where this recipe comes from. It encourages you to grab the Winter root veggies that you find intriguing and then strategically cook them up in one cohesive dish.

In ONE dish, we can enjoy beets, fennel, parsnips, carrots, and any other roots that you’ve got your heart set on. Chop the roots and then toss them in a simple lemon + parsley vinaigrette. Spread them out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crispy perfection! This Winter Root Veggie Roast side veggie dish is delicious and would go extremely well next to some freshly seared fish, a beef roast, or even crispy chicken thighs.
