Easy Roasted Root Vegetables, Cabbage, and Garlic

One of my favorite ways to enjoy root vegetables is to roast them. It's so simple! Roasting brings out the natural sweetness in the vegetables, and they taste divine. I added some cabbage and garlic to this evening's blend - and the results were awesome!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cabbage, cut into chunks
• 1 large turnip, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2-3 beets, peeled and cut into chunks
• large handful of garlic cloves (whole)
• handful of spring onions, white part + thick green only
• 1/2 t Italian seasoning
• 2-3 T extra virgin olive oil
• salt & pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees while you prepare your vegetables.
2. Put the olive oil in a casserole dish.
3. Put the veggies, cabbage, and garlic in the casserole dish and stir to make sure everything is coated with olive oil. Add more oil if necessary.
4. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
5. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes, stirring once. After 40 minutes, remove the foil, stir again, and roast uncovered for 20 more minutes to brown.
6. Enjoy!
