Identifying and cooking root vegetables

Root vegetable medley in 4 easy steps

1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees

2) Choose your roots

Our personal favorite - The Turnip

The inspiration behind our very own TurnipMan!

Part of the cabbage family, Turips are high in vitamin C and they thrive well in poor soil where other vegetables suffer. Super Power indeed!

Chiogga Beet

Beets were originally used as medicine dating back to before written history!

They are high in folic acid, potassium, calcium and antioxidants.

3) Cut your roots into bite size pieces

Rutabaga

The Rutabaga originated as a cross between the Turnip and the cabbage.

4) Place all root cubes into a casserole dish, drizzle a little olive oil, salt and pepper and stir

5) Place in the oven and bake for one hour and fifteen minutes

This is a great side dish when paired with grains, legumes and greens
