Roasted Root Vegetables

January 9, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 22 Comments

Hi Everyone,

One thing I like about this time of year are the vegetables.  Yes vegetables!  In the spring its berries, berries and more berries but in the winter it is root vegetables!   They last a long time, some are sweet and others have the most distinctive flavor like fennel, and whats best they go good together.

Roasted Root Vegetables

In my last shipment from the CSA they sent me a ton of root vegetables along with a ton of oranges and apples.  They also sent me some beets.  I don’t like beets, I don’t know what to do with them?  Cooking them takes so long, and I asked my Husband if he likes beets and he wasn’t thrilled about them.  Maybe I’ll cook them anyway so I don’t waste them, maybe I’ll be surprised and like them if I cook them myself?  Do you like beets?  What do you do with them?

Root Vegetables


My Roasted Root Vegetables contain baby red potatoes, turnips, fennel and carrots.  I tossed them in olive oil and added a sprinkle of salt and pepper.  I placed them in a baking dish and roasted them for about 45 minutes.  They turned out so good!!  Such a simple dish, yet the flavors, oh the flavors are simply wonderful together.  The fennel, which surprised me didn’t taste very strong at all.  I was afraid it would be to much of a licorice taste, but it wasn’t.  I felt the turnips didn’t have much of a taste, my Husband thought they were a potato.   For an added little touch, I topped my roasted vegetables with some of the leaves from the fennel.

Roasted Root Vegetables

I made the serving size for about 1 1/2 cups each.  But I think, I personally ate about 3 servings.   As you know from Monday’s post, I like to cook in batches and this was one big batch.  So what does one do with leftover roasted root vegetables?  Well, I snacked on the veggies, but I also made a savory little pizza.

Roasted Root Vegetable Pizza

I had a FlatOut Bread so I topped it with a little pizza sauce, roasted butternut squash, the roasted root vegetables, a few cut up cherry tomatoes and some mozzarella and goat cheese.  Placed it on a baking sheet and baked it at 400 degrees for about 8 minutes.  It was delish!!  This made a quick dinner!!  If you don’t have FlatOut Bread, a tortilla, pita bread or pizza dough would work great! The cooked vegetables on the pizza were perfect  and of course I topped it with some crushed red pepper.

Roasted Root Vegetables Pizza

Don’t mind the photos of the pizza.  It was a quick shot so I could show you.  It wasn’t planned and my photo area was not available, plus I wanted a warm dinner 🙂 Oh and the leftovers go great on a simple bed of lettuce with a drizzle of balsamic dressing!!!  Yummy!!

Roasted Root Vegetables

I have to admit I have been on a major health kick lately.  I’m really, really trying to be better!  Some days it’s hard, but thank goodness I like fruits and vegetables!!!  They save me, when I need a sugar kick!  Nothing like a fresh, sweet juicy orange when your feeling sluggish and hungry.  I love guilt-free food!  I eat two oranges everyday!  Did you make New Years Resolutions?   How are you doing so far sticking to them?

Well my Friends time to go!  I need to pack up my lunch and head to bed!

Have a great day!

Toodles,

Jen

    That’s a great idea! I love beets, cut up & tossed with a little olive oil, then I cover them & bake them till they’re soft. No one else in my family likes them, but I’m always glad to see them in our CSA share. 🙂

      I am roasting my beets tomorrow! I’m excited now to try them!!! Don’t you love getting a CSA package? Mine gets delivered around 3am and as soon as I get up I run to my front door and there is a big box of goodies!!! it’s a great way to try new fruits and vegetables.

    Try a beet salad. Cut them up, toss in olive oil and roast until fork tender. Add them to a salad of spinach, orange slices, dried cranberries, feta cheese, and candied pecans. Toss with a balsamic vinaigrette. It is delicious!

    i don’t like beets either but I pureed them and put them into a bread dough that i was making and I LOVED the bread! Probably because it didn’t taste like beets at all. It’s on my blog somewhere if you want to find it! I bet if you also put them in any baked good (in place of pumpkin maybe) you’d like em!

    I used to think I hated beets, until my friend from England made me a batch of pickled beets. They were SOOOOO good. I don’t like them any other way. I made a wonderful beet and pistachio salad with pickled beets that was to die for. Here is the recipe: http://whatsfordinner-momwhatsfordinner.blogspot.com/2012/01/beet-and-feta-salad-with-pistachios.html

    I definitely get more excited about spring berries than winter veggies. But! That flatbread veggie pizza looks so, so good (and I’m not one to say that about vegetables!)

    So this may sound weird but it’s actually fairly good:
    I do red beet (cooked, grated) with sauerkraut (chopped), onions, chives, oil, salt, pepper, nutmeg and caraway as some sort of salad. It’s great with toasted baguette…
    I might add that I’m German and really like sauerkraut but I assume it’s not everybody’s taste ;D
    By the way, I love the idea of the pizza, looks delicious.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?

Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.

What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days.
