Roasted Root Veggies & Maple Syrup


For the northern locavore, a whole winter of eating root veggies can get boring. The good news is that we are currently at the tail end of maple syrup season, and this was a fantastic year for it in this region.

Here is a recipe with ingredients that can be found here in this region at this time of year (including the maple syrup!).


Roasted Veggies & Maple Syrup

3 Russet Potatoes
2 Large Carrots
2 Large Parsnips
1/2 a Rutabaga
1 Yellow Onion
1 Tablespoon Butter
3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
Dried Mint (to taste)
Dried Sage (to taste)
Freshly-ground Pepper (to taste)

Roast in the oven at 350 for about one hour.

It's great with a couple of scrambled eggs and mint tea!
