Roasted Fall Vegetables


Can you believe this weather. A week ago it was in the 90’s and now it is in the 60’s. Though I love fall, and love seeing the landscape changing colors, I am a bit sad that we are heading towards winter. Not so much because winter bring with it a desolated scenery, but because it gets so dark in the evening that there is no time to do anything. No time to run outside if you don’t get started at 4. No time to hang out after dinner and enjoy the sunset… oh well…

At least, fall brings with it, a new array of food and fresh vegetables to enjoy. As you see, it did not take me long to taste those new fall vegetables this week-end. This evening i propose something easy and fast that can accompany any meat and fish: Roasted fall vegetables.

Ingredients: 1 sweet potato peeled and sliced thinly, 1 turnip peeled and sliced thinly, 1 small butternut squash peeled, and sliced thinly as well, 1 small purple onion sliced thinly, 1 tsp of fresh sage chopped (or dry if not), 1 tsp of olive oil, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, 1/8 of salt and 1/16 of pepper.

Place all the following vegetables in a large bowl, add the olive oil, sage, sugar,  salt and pepper. Mix well so that the vegetables will be coated with all the ingredients noted above. Place on a large silpat or deep flexipan and cook in warm oven at 450 for 10 minutes. Enjoy!!!

Bon Appetit and Happy Cooking!!!
