Roasted Root Vegetables

Winter means root vegetables (aka vegetables whose edible parts grow underground – think beets, turnips, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, etc.) are in season.  Warm up by roasting up those root vegetables in a quick and simple 1-sheet dish.   No need for measuring.  Just grab your favorite root vegetables – or what’s available at the market stands – chop, drizzle with some oil, fresh herbs, and salt and pepper.  Simple as that.
