Dr. Jill Shainhouse, ND
Who doesn’t love sizzling, warm veggies on a chilly day? They’re colourful, flavourful and full of disease-fighting carotenoids.
- 1 butternut squash
- 1 turnip
- 1 parsnip
- 3 multicoloured carrots
- 1 purple sweet potato
- 1 regular sweet potato
- 4 tbsp avocado oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh parsley and basil a few chopped sprigs of each
- 1/2 tsp paprika optional
Preheat your oven to 400°F
Chop the veggies into large chunks
Coat your veggies with oil
Add in your salt and pepper
Add your paprika (optional)
Bake for 45-60 mins in a ceramic or glass baking dish stirring once at the halfway point
Veggies should be fork tender and golden brown
Top with chopped fresh parsley and basil before serving
Enjoy!
