Roasted Root Vegetables With Garlic
1827 days ago
Skip to recipe
I am known for my roasted vegetables. Generally I use eggplant, zucchini, onions and many different colored bell peppers, but at this time of year I like to switch it up a bit and use root vegetables such as turnips, carrots, potatoes and onions.
When prepping the veggies, I used the Hardy Slicer to power through the turnip with its hefty blade and sharp Double-D® edge.
For the carrots, potatoes and parsnips the Vegetable Knife was my knife of choice.
The sharp, wide blade works great on these veggies and, as a bonus, you can scoop everything up onto the wide blade to transfer to the bowl.
Whenever you roast vegetables it is important to keep them in a single layer in the roasting pan or baking sheet so they brown evenly. And most important, you need to make more than you think you will need. They are always a huge hit and your guests will want leftovers to take home.
