I am a huge fan of roasting vegetables and as my beets are just ready in the garden I will now try them as well. My favorites to roast are yams, red and yellow peppers and broccolli. I use a really hot oven,
425 and love the browning they get.
Thanks for the recipies.

Love your pre-roasting picture- those candy striped beets make me wanna go find some veggies to roast right now!

That's funny. Mine look pretty in this photo because they are raw! After I cooked them they didn't look as nice so I didn't post the pic. The taste is all that really matters though. I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

So I roasted some root vegetables this weekend, and they didn’t look nearly as awesome as yours in the picture. I used:
red beets
carrots
rutabaga
I also used too much oil and my herbs were kind of blackened, but it was still incredibly tasty! The rutabaga was good too, kind of like a peanuty-potato, with a sweet finish. And I have 3 servings of leftovers for the rest of the week!

Great photos. Yeah, the parsnips shouldn’t be like carrots; that’s weird. Maybe too much roasting? Normally they’re spicier, like daikon mixed with parsley mixed with carrot. I feel like the texture is also normally less cohesive and creamy than a cooked carrot.

Mashed parsnips go well with mashed potatoes.

Nothing in particular, but the way it smelled made me a little nervous.

Thanks Darya for your awesome encouragement, and for the great pictures. Is there any way we can share pictures of our successful roastings on your blog?

“Also, the root vegetables were surprisingly filling and did not upset my stomach.”
What do you mean, ‘upset your stomach?’ Is that a problem I should worry about, and should I be wary of only root veggies?

I will keep trying! I would agree the parsnips tasted stronger, but still a carroty flavor.

Sweet potatoes and yams sound like a fantastic idea. I always forget about them!
