INGREDIENTS
VEGGIES
2 to 3 parsnips
2 to 3 carrots
2 large sweet potatoes
2 medium beets, various colors
1 small yellow onion
1 small red onion
ALMOND OIL MARINADE
3 TBSP Octonuts California Almond Oil, divided
1 TBSP maple syrup (omit for Whole30)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp crushed rosemary
1/8 tsp dried parsley
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
HOW TO
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment. Set aside.
Peel and chop vegetables into 1.5 to 2 inch pieces. Chop beets into 1 inch cubes. Combine vegetables in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 TBSP Octonuts Almond Oil with maple syrup, garlic, and spices. Pour marinade over vegetables and stir to coat.
Spread vegetables evenly onto prepared baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 45 to 55 minutes, until vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Rotate pan halfway through cooking.
Add vegetables to a large serving dish and drizzle with remaining 1 TBSP Octonuts Almond Oil. Garnish with fresh parsley or rosemary if desired.
Store covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
NOTES: Cutting beets into smaller pieces helps them cook a little faster. Other veggies can be roughly chopped. Substitute fresh herbs for dried, if desired.
