Roasted Vegetables



Mamma Choppin away

  • 1 lb carrots, peeled
  • 1 lb parsnips, peeled
  • 1 large sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 1 small butternut squash, peeled and seeded(about 2 pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley

    1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
    2. Cut the carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and butternut squash in 1 to 1 1/4-inch cubes. All the vegetables will shrink while baking, so don't cut them too small.
    3. Place all the cut vegetables in a single layer on 2 baking sheets. Drizzle them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well.
    4. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender, turning once with a metal spatula.
    5. Sprinkle with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.

I put it over salad just to pretend we are healthy, but really it can be paired with anything.

Combine the marinade ingredients. Place steak and marinade ingredients in a large freezer bag. Coat the steak well with the marinade. Seal the bag and place in a bowl. Chill and marinate for at least 2 hours and up to ov...
