WARM & SWEET ROOT VEGETABLE SALAD

 WARM & SWEET ROOT VEGETABLE SALAD

INGREDIENTS: BEETS, TURNIPS, PARSNIPS, CARROTS, GARLIC, 1/2 POUND-1 POUND SPINACH, OLIVE OIL, SALT, PEPPER, MAPLE SYRUP

HOW MANY VEGETABLES YOU USE DEPENDS ON HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU ARE SERVING. I USED 2 OF EACH VEGETABLE AND 6 CLOVES OF GARLIC FOR 4 PEOPLE

TURN YOUR OVEN TO 400. PUT FOIL ON A BAKING SHEET AND SPRAY WITH A COOKING SPRAY ( I LIKE THE OLIVE OIL SPRAY) 

PEEL ALL THE VEGETABLE AND CHOP UP. PUT IN A BOWL. ADD OLIVE OIL, SALT AND PEPPER. THE AMOUNT IS DEPENDENT ON HOW MANY VEGGIES YOU HAVE IN THE BOWL. I USED ROUGHLY 1/3 CUP OIL AND 1 TSP SALT AND PEPPER.  MIX WELL, PUT ON THE BAKING SHEET. COOK FOR 10 MINUTES AND STIR. COOK FOR ANOTHER 10 AND CHECK IF DONE. THE VEGETABLES SHOULD TAKE 20-30 MINUTES TO COOK.

WHILE THE VEGETABLES ARE STILL IN THE PAN, DRIZZLE MAPLE SYRUP ON THEM. THE AMOUNT DEPENDS ON HOW SWEET YOU WANT THEM. I DID ROUGHLY 1/4 CUP.  MIX WHILE ON THE SHEET.

PUT SPINACH IN A BOWL, ADD THE COOKED VEGETABLES AND ANY REMAINING OIL & SYRUP FROM THE COOKIE SHEET. MIX WELL AND SERVE RIGHT AWAY.
