Looks like a great week for roasted vegetables. The key is to have your vegetables diced to approximately the same size and roast them at a very high temp. Dice up any of the following and in any combination – Turnip, Rutabaga, Carrot, Onion, Daikon Radish, Kohlrabi, Sweet Potato, Potato – toss with a little olive oil, fresh pressed garlic or garlic powder, salt, pepper, add some thyme & rosemary if you have it. I like to mix the herbs and spiced with the oil first then drizzle over the diced veggies in a bowl to mix up together. Roast at 500 and check regularly – single layer on cookie sheet – stir when necessary for even roasting – remove when fork tender and crisp to your liking.
Radicchio – what to do – we like ours roasted, sliced thin into a salad, or saute with other veggies
Sweet Potato – if you haven’t decided what to do yet take a look at these amazing options – its hard to make a decision all the recipes look great…You will definitely see a few of these at the Open House Saturday!
Kohlrabi – look at previous posts for links about this versatile vegetable- raw, roasted, saute, soup, mashed, endless possibilities……
German Butterball Potato – waxy potato great for boiling, mashing, frying, baking, soup
