Best Roasted And Marinated Root Vegetables Recipes

SHEET PAN ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix the zucchini, eggplant, carrots, tomatoes, onions and peppers with the oil, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, oregano, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, and preferably overnight.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• On a large roasting pan, roast the vegetables, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes have split and the edges of some of the vegetables are starting to crisp. Remove from the oven and stir before returning to the oven for another 20 minutes. At this time reduce heat to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and continue cooking until vegetables are tender, turning every 20 minutes.

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all vegetables. In a small separate bowl, combine garlic, oil, herbs, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Mix marinade with vegetables, cover with plastic wrap and let sit up to 2 hours. Arrange vegetables on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in a pre heated 500 degree F oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until cooked through.

ROASTED AND MARINATED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Prep:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Depending on the size and type of the root, peel it or not. Peel the dirty, gnarly beets. Sweet potato skins soften up when roasting, so leave those on. For thinner-skinned turnips, a good scrubbing will do.
• Cut the roots into chunks; I like them about 1 inch thick and 2 inches long. Cut the round roots through the equator and chunk them up from there. For sweet potatoes, cut them in half lengthwise, then again lengthwise, and then into 2-inch pieces. If you can find baby sweet potatoes, just cut those in half. There's no wrong way to do this; just keep all of your vegetables similar in size and shape so they cook evenly.
• Roast:
• Preheat an ovenproof sauté pan large enough to hold the root vegetables in one layer over medium-high heat. Add the rice bran, grapeseed, or olive oil and continue heating until the oil shimmers and is thinking about smoking. Carefully add the roots and let them caramelize on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Check to make sure they're not burning-lower the heat if they're scorching in some spots. Give the roots a toss in the pan (tongs work, too) and season with the salt, sugar, and pepper. Add the thyme and rosemary and transfer the pan to the oven.
• Cook until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender. Start checking with the tip of a sharp knife after 6 minutes and continue to check every 5 minutes. They're done when they're easily pierced all the way through. The beets will cook in about 30 minutes, the turnips in just 10 minutes or less, and the sweet potatoes in 20 minutes. This will depend on the age, variety, and cut of the vegetable, so use your senses (including common sense) and check often.
• Marinate:
• Spoon the roasted vegetables into a large bowl. Discard the herb stems. Add the orange juice or vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, and chile flakes. Toss until well coated.
• Serve:
• You can serve at this point, or store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

BEEF ROAST WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Arrange onion, sweet potatoes, parsnips and celery root in bottom of slow cooker. Season beef all over with salt and black pepper. Rub flour all over beef. Place roast on top of vegetables in slow cooker.
• Whisk together tomatoes, maple syrup, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour mixture over beef.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 12 hours or on HIGH for 8 hours.
• Remove beef from slow cooker and shred with 2 forks. Serve 1/3 of shredded beef with this meal (and all of the vegetables) and refrigerate remaining beef for another use.

FLANK STEAK WITH ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Position racks in the lower third and top of the oven; preheat the broiler. Toss the carrots, parsnips, turnip, olive oil, chopped rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast on the lower oven rack, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, halve the steak lengthwise and poke a few times on both sides with a fork; transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Add the bourbon, brown sugar, mustard and garlic; tear the rosemary sprig in half and add to the bag. Seal and vigorously massage the ingredients into the meat for 5 minutes to tenderize. Transfer the steak to a foil-lined baking sheet, discarding the marinade. Season with salt and pepper.
• Leaving the vegetables in the oven, broil the steak until a thermometer inserted sideways into the center registers 125 degrees F to 130 degrees F for medium rare, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest, 5 minutes. Move the vegetables to the top oven rack and broil, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Slice the meat and serve with the vegetables. Top with parsley and serve with mustard.

ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel vegetables (optional) and cut them into 1- to 2-inch chunks, put them in a baking pan and toss with the oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
• Put the vegetables in the oven and roast without stirring for 20 minutes, then check. If they look dry and are sticking to the pan, drizzle with more oil. Continue roasting, stirring or turning the vegetables once, for another 20 minutes or so. Stir in the herbs, then return the pan to the oven for another 20 to 40 minutes, until crisp. Remove from the oven. Garnish with rosemary or thyme.
