A delicious medley of roasted root vegetables including potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnip, celery root, and beets.
Today we’re sharing a delicious recipe for Roasted Root Vegetables as Part 2 of our Dinner Party Series. This hearty and satisfying side dish was served to us during a wonderful dinner party that we had last month at the house of our long-time friends Sandi and David.
Sandi and David eat a mostly vegetarian diet, so they are experts in cooking inspired and flavorful meals without meat, and this medley of roasted root vegetables was among the best we’ve had!
This recipe roasts celery root (something I had never eaten before!), purple and orange carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, golden beets, white potatoes, onions and garlic together in the oven until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
But what really elevates this dish to a whole new level is the addition of currants which lend sweetness and texture to the caramelized vegetables. They are also a perfect complement to the other seasonings and herbs used while roasting these earthy root vegetables. Enjoy!
