There are dozens of underground comistibles, and they are starting to make a comeback. They are relatively inexpensive and very nutritious. Root vegetables have long been a standard staple in my family

I really like roasted vegetables. I roast them under a chicken on a rack to let the juices from the chicken mix with the juices of the vegetables. Your combination of vegetables sounds great!


I think the only way to eat vegetables are roasted! They become so sweet. I love your variety.


Sure sounds fantastic! I like everything that you have in there.

Awesome! I serve roasted roots at just about every occasion I can come fall but may I suggest that you skip the boiling altogether - simply coat with olive oil, season with coarse salt and cracked black pepper and throw them directly in the hot oven for a good hour, shaking them once half way through cooking. That way you preserve a lot of the vitamins and minerals and you wind up with gorgeous, deep roasted caramelization. Food for thought, n'est ce pas?
