Title: Roasted vegetables
Post by: CalamityJane on March 02, 2018, 12:14:16 PM
I absolutely love this side dish, so I thought I'd share it here. I eat it as is, but sometimes I mix in low carb pasta with it and it's really delicious that way, too. If the amounts are too much, you can halve it and it works out just fine. You can also add carrots if you want, but I don't, so I left them off my ingredient list.

1 pound Brussels sprouts, cleaned and halved
1 pound rutabega, cubed
1 pound parsnips, cubed
1 stick of butter
2-3 T. apple cider vinegar
2-3 T. horseradish
2-3 T. dill
salt and pepper to taste

Separately roast the vegetables in a light coating of olive oil at 400 degrees until browned and al dente. In a deep skillet, melt the butter and add the remaining ingredients. Toss the vegetables in the sauce and serve!

Looks absolutely yummy plus I love pasta in most of my meals. Sounds like a recipe worth trying; my sister-in-law will be eager to try it the moment I show this to her. How long does this take you to prepare?

I did something similar in the past with carrots, Brussels sprouts, and cabbages. Sounds like a weird combination, but I like the crunchy sense. It makes me feel like I'm eating chips and helps to stop me from craving them! I will try your recipe soon. Thanks for sharing!

Any other vegetables you'd suggest for this kind of side dish?

I love roasted vegetables!  Usually I combine cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, peppers and onions in a bowl, toss with a sprinkle  of olive oil, garlic salt and pepper and then roast on a cookie sheet until tender crisp.  Yummy!!
