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. 🙂

    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!

    You can cook grated beets, it does not take a lot of time and it’s delicious 🙂 Your idea for roasted root vegetables is great!

    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 Thursday! We have been having 100 degree wea Happy Thursday! We have been having 100 degree weather for the past couple of days, but now we are going to cool off into the 70’s. Such a big change, that it’s going to feel cold. 
🌸
My plants have seemed to have survived the heat pretty good, except for my Black Eyed Susan’s that I planted a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will bounce back with the cooler weather we will get. 
🌸
This is a photo of my garden that I took a couple of days ago. It’s filling in nicely. I planted a small Mexican Sunflower plant a few weeks ago and I’m looking forward to watching it grow. I planted one last year and it grew so fast that it ended up collapsing and I had to tear it out. I’m hoping planting a smaller one, it will get more if a root system and hold up to its height. It’s such a cool plant with beautiful orange flowers. 
🌸
What is your favorite flower to grow?

Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create Happy Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to create an outdoor tablescape. It’s such a pretty space to see and I love how you can make the outdoors an extension of your home. I loved looking out my window and seeing my table. Now I wouldn’t leave it up like I do my dining room, but it was fun to keep it up for the day. 
🌸
Now let me tell you, it is so hard for me to photograph outside. I tried to do it before sunrise and I tried again at sunset. Ugh! I just can’t get the right lighting. I don’t know how so many people make there outdoors look so pretty. If you have any tips, let me know. I’d appreciate that.
🌸
Do you like to photograph outside?

Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I Happy Monday! Last week of work until vacation. I can’t wait. I haven’t had any vacation since Christmas, except for a few random days here and there. I have no plans, but I sure plan on enjoying it.
🌿
Speaking of Christmas, I don’t think I have showed you my console table me since then. I finally finished decorating it. It’s been half done for about a month. Before that, it was an awful catch all space. 
🌿
I decided to stick to the greens, neutrals and for some added color yellow. I really like using yellow this time of year. I noticed I started decorating with yellow in my dining room and it trinkled into my living room. 
🌿
What’s your favorite color to decorate for in the summer?

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary! 

We’re a fabulous group of friends sharing our love of flowers, elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree. 
🍒
What is your favorite cherry recipe?

M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.
