Root Veggie Bake

AllRecipes.com
If you want a twist on the classic root vegetable bake, then this is a scrumptious alternative. I found that leaving it overnight to cool and then slow cooking it the next day blended the flavors beautifully.

Ingredients 

  • 2 Red Onions Large, cut into 8 wedges
  • 2 Carrots Large, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1 1/2 Sweet Potatoes Large, cut into 3/4-in slices, then into thirds
  • 1/2 Rutabaga Large, peeled, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 3 Tbsp Butter Melted
  • 1 1/2 tsp Curry Powder
  • 3/4 tsp Ground Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tso Ground Cumin

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Large Mixing Bowl

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Combine red onions, carrots, sweet potatoes, and rutabaga in a large bowl. Pour in olive oil and butter. Add curry powder, turmeric, salt, and cumin; toss until thoroughly coated. Transfer to a large baking dish.
