Honey Glazed Root Vegetables

We love a simple yet delicious side dish, and this honey-glazed root vegetable recipe is it!

We also love this recipe for cleaning out the fridge, because you only need 1-2 of each root vegetable.

Root vegetables have a subtle sweetness that's enhanced by the honey in this dish. Feel free to add any fresh herbs that you have on hand to garnish.

Honey Glazed Root Vegetables

Serves 3-4

What you'll need:

2 carrots, peeled and cut thick on a bias

2 small beets, top and root removed, cut into wedges

1 spring turnip, cut into wedges

2 small potatoes, cut into wedges

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Salt & pepper, to taste

2 tbsp liquid honey

1/2 lemon juiced

2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (dill, parsley, cilantro)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Add cut vegetables to the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, topping vegetables halfway through. When the vegetables are soft, remove the baking sheet from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 450F. Drizzle with honey, and return the baking sheet to the oven for 5-8 minutes until the honey begins to caramelize. Remove from the oven, toss the vegetables with fresh herbs, squeeze the lemon over top, and serve.

Enjoy, my friends!
