Ingredients:
  • 6 root vegetables, (choose a variety from potatoes, carrots, rutabagas, turnips, parsnips, beets, sweet potatoes, etc.) (medium)
  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

  1. Wash hands with soap and water. Preheat oven to 425 °F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Scrub vegetables with a clean vegetable brush under running water. Peel vegetables (optional) and cut into 1-inch chunks.

  4. Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 40 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until tender and golden brown. Serve hot or lukewarm.
  5. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
