Roasted Potatoes and Root Vegetables
pieces roughly the same size except for the parsnips, sweet potatoes, and turnips, which
cook faster and can be slightly larger than the rest. Toss the vegetables, garlic, and herbs
with oil to coat lightly, then season with salt and pepper.
Put everything in a roomy pan. Bake , uncovered, in the top third of the oven for 20 minutes,
shaking the pan once or twice. Reduce the heat to 375F and continue baking until the
vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife, 20 -30 minutes, depending on how large
they are. Remove the bay leaves. If using one of the herb salts or vinegar, sprinkle it over
the vegetables as soon as they come out of the oven.
Serves 4-6.
