Are you up for roasting a medley of winter vegetables? I add winter
squash and no potatoes to it... but this recipe is a good beginning.

Roasted Winter Vegetables with Balsamic Vinegar and Thyme
2 large beets, peeled
1 lb potatoes, peeled
3/4 lb carrots, peeled
1 lb turnips, peeled
1 lb leeks
3/8 lb rutabagas, peeled
5 tablespoons olive oil
2-1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1-1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme


Cut vegetables into 1/2-inch thick wedges & place into bowl. Add oil,
thyme & half the vinegar; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place vegetables on baking sheet. Roast
until tender, stir often, 1 hour.

Drizzle remaining vinegar over vegetables.
