Root Vegetable Fries Recipe-February 2024-www.zdask.com

　　Roasted potatoes are good and all, but a roasted root vegetable medley is just as easy to make and a little bit fancy too. Substitute any root vegetable, including starchy potatoes, turnip, parsnip, celery root, or rutabaga. While the veggies are roasting, toss a garlic bulb or two into the pan at about the 30-minute mark—the result: easy, creamy garlic! Yum.

Ingredients

Serves 2 to 4

　　1 large carrot

　　1 large potato

　　1 large sweet potato

　　1 large beet

　　2 tablespoons olive oil

　　1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

　　1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

　　Salt and pepper

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the vegetables into 1⁄2"-wide spears and toss in a roasting pan with olive oil and herbs to coat. Keep the peels on; that's where the vitamins are.

Step 2

Roast for approximately 40 minutes, turning regularly until all sides have turned a golden brown and the fries are cooked straight through.
