Honey Rosemary Roasted Root Vegetables

Honey Rosemary Roasted Root Vegetables

Winter is the perfect time for roasted root vegetables. What is a root vegetable you ask? Root vegetables are vegetables that grow underground and are actually the roots of their greens that grow above ground. Examples of root vegetables are beets, radishes, turnips and carrots. Beets and turnips have a natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with the sweet and salty honey rosemary glaze that they will be coated in prior to roasting. Sweet, delicious and healthy to boot. This particular recipe uses beets, turnips and radishes. We left out the carrots on this one, although they would be a natural fit if you wanted to add them in. 

Enjoy, folks!

Pro Tip: Prep the red beets last. They tend to turn everything purple. Also, fresh herbs and spices make everything taste better.
