Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 2 lbs parsnips, cleaned chopped into 1-inch lengths
• 1 lb carrot, cleaned and chopped into 1-inch lengths
• 2 lbs turnips, cleaned and chopped into 8ths
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• kosher salt
• black pepper, freshly ground
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup, grade b preferred

Recipe

• 1 heat oven to 400 degrees f.
• 2 in a large bowl, combine prepared parsnips, turnips, carrots as well as olive oil, salt and pepper. mix well to thoroughly coat the veggies with oil, salt & pepper.
• 3 put in heated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until fork tender, turning about every 15 minutes.
• 4 combine vinegar and syrup together, set aside.
• 5 when veggies are fork tender, drizzle the vinegar - maple over all and turn to coat veggies. alternatively, you could remove the veggies from the oven, dump in a large bowl or pot, add the maple - vinegar and toss well to coat; then replace in the oven for an additional 7 minutes for the glaze to develop and the veggies to brown. whichever is easier -- i'm all about easy ;).
• 6 when done, serve and enjoy! goes well with beef, chicken or lamb. also makes a great vegetarian meal when served with a pasta or grain.
