I love roasted root vegetables for the colder months. Also during the Holidays I enjoy serving our very own vegetables from our garden with the array of colors and flavors.

The maple in this recipe adds interest, edge and dimension to the rich well-rounded intense and decadent vegetables.

Talk about a strong foundation. Maple really delivers here!!

Ingredients- You can easily double this for a crowd.

1 1/2 Cup Sliced Organic Carrot

1 1/2 Cup Sliced Organic Parsnip

1 1/2 Cubed Peeled Organic Turnip

4 Tsp. Olive Oil

1/2 Tsp. Sea Salt

1/4 Tsp. Freshly Ground Pepper

2 Tbsp. Justamere's Maple Syrup

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. Combine first 6 ingredients in a 13X9 inch baking dish coated with olive oil, tossing 

    well to coat.

3. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.
