It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The time of year when it’s seasonally appropriate to roast every veggie that you eat. If you know me, you know I am a huge fan of all things roasted (like this Lemon Roasted Broccoli, my Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Hummus, or my Seasonal Roasted Veggie Salad) and today’s recipe is no exception.
When the colder months hit all I want to eat are things that are warm and grounding and not so hard to digest. Winter also means heartier veggies that hold up well to a high temp roasting, such as parsnips, are in season, making this recipe the perfect one to grace your holiday table.
The added turmeric gives it a gorgeous golden colour, while also upping the anti-inflammatory benefits of the dish. I’m a big fan of sneaking in nutrients in any way possible and sprinkling turmeric onto everything from scrambled eggs to roasted veggies is a great way to bring in the power of this spice.
Now, without further ado, to the recipe!
- 3-4 parsnips cut into even bite-sized pieces
- ½ head cauliflower cut into florets (also great with broccoli!)
- 1 tbsp. olive or avocado oil
- 1 tsp. each onion & garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
- black pepper to taste
- ½ lemon juiced
-
Preheat oven to 405F.
-
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
In a bowl combine parsnips, cauliflower, and olive oil, tossing to coat fully.
-
Add onion & garlic powders, turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper, stirring to coat veggies.
-
Spread into a single layer on the baking sheet.
-
Place into oven for ten minutes.
-
Remove from oven and flip veggies with a spatula, then return to oven for another 10 minutes until veggies are crispy brown on the edges.
-
Remove from oven, pour lemon juice over veggies, stirring to coat.
-
Add to serving dish and enjoy with your favourite main course!
