In the spring, we indulge in fresh fruits and leaf vegetables. Summer is devoted to smoky BBQ and chilled, crisp salads. And during the fall and winter months, it’s all about root vegetables, like carrots, turnips, beets, parsnips, and potatoes. Some people think that cooking with roots is intimidating, but they are actually quite simple to prepare. And, these roots are packed full of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, which help boost your immunity and energy. It’s time to embrace the shorter days and cooler weather with some comforting, nourishing foods from beautiful crops. So whether you want to warm up with a cozy bowl of hot soup, roast a bounty of caramelized goodness, or nestle in with a filling, nutrient-rich gratin, we’ve got your root veggie fix right here! Check out the recipes below and start meal planning.
