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

    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 am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share.

I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
