So simple but, oh so good We'll skip the link. From finecooking.com - Roasted Medley of Winter Roots by Molly Stevens

1 1/2 - 2C each veggie
Turnips, parsnips, sweet/potatoes, carrots(for some reason my carrots never cook very fast so I cut them smaller) chopped large, cook fast.
Beets, celeriac, rutabagas, chopped small, cook slow.
@ 1.2lb parsnips, 3-4 carrots, 2 med turnips, 3 med beets(I like a lot)
10-12 cloves garlic (more is better 2-3 heads)
10-15 small boiling onions/1C pearl (walnut size)
3 sprigs rosemary, thyme (I used about 2Tbs dry each, more herbs the better)
3 small bay leaves (case in point I put six)
2-3Tbs butter
1 1/2Tbs oil
Salt & pepper

Chop whatever winter roots you have accoding to how they cook, toss in a heavy baking dish such as bottom of dutch oven. Add seasonings and toss with butter/oil. Roast at 400F stirring, until soft and golden brown.

At the time I was making cider from apple picking yesterday and tossed in some apple You can add fresh cut ginger sticks and maple syrup, brussel sprouts (still not fond of these) and maybe roasted walnuts or acorns might be nice

lil earthmomma- the white wine sounds wonderful!!

I do this often, and it's so easy, impressive and delicious!!!

Root vegetables
4-6 heads of garlic with the top chopped off, exposing the cloves.
1/2 cup of olive oil (or whatever oil you love)
1/2 cup of white wine (if you don't like cooking with wine, use stock)

Arrange the veg and heads of garlic on a cookie sheet, drizzle the oil over them, and pour the wine/stock over them. Spinkle liberally with salt and pepper and other seasonings of your choice. Cover in foil and roast at 375 for 45 min. Remove foil and roast for another 15 min or until golden brown.

Remove from oven. Pull heads of garlic out and with a cloth over your hand (so you don't burn it! ) squeeze the cloves out of the heads. They should pop right out very easily.

Pour veg into a serving dish (don't forget the delicious oil!) and add cloves (I chop them in half, but you don't have to!). Stir and serve!
