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!

    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

    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 Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
