Roasted Root Vegetables

Again, I forgot to photograph this recipe.  It's easy to imagine, though.  Carrots, beets, sweet potatoes & turnips, roasted & sprinkled with herbs.   Yumm.  I like to make these along with the Herb-Roasted Chicken.  It's easy to just cook them in the same pan.

  • 2 medium carrots, peeled & halved
  • 2 small beets, peeled & quartered
  • 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled & quartered
  • 1 small turnip, peeled & quartered
  • Butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray



Spritz vegetables evenly with cooking spray and place in pan around chicken.  (I sprinkled some of the herbs, from the chicken, onto the vegetables).  Roast along with the chicken.  Test with fork to make sure they are cooked through.
