Description

Chunks of butternut squash, carrots, sweet potato, turnips, and parsnips are coated in olive oil, lightly seasoned, and roasted to golden deliciousness.

Ingredients

1 butternut squash - peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch dice
3 carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 large sweet potato, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 parsnips, peeled and cubed
3 turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2 Place butternut squash, carrots, sweet potato, rutabaga, parsnips, and turnips into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper: place vegetables into a deep roasting pan.
3 Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and golden brown around the edges, about 45 minutes, stirring once during roasting to ensure even cooking.
