MAPLE ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
Local Nova Scotia winter vegetables are a wonderful and inexpensive choice in the
dead of winter. Roasting brings out the best of their sweetness and flavour. A little Nova
Scotia maple syrup is just the touch to make this dish special.

To make 8 servings:

Cut into chunks about 1 ½" in size and place in bowl
4 unpeeled potatoes (red skinned look the best)
3 large parsnips
3 large carrots
butternut squash to measure about 1 ½ cups

Peel and cut the roots from 1 large red onion, leaving the root end in tact. Cut into 8
wedges. Add to other vegs in bowl.

Melt 2 Tbsp butter with 3/4 tsp dried thyme, salt & pepper. Pour over vegs and toss.

Spread on greased rimmed baking sheet and roast at 450ºF for about 50 minutes,
stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides.

Drizzle with maple syrup, stirring to coat and return to the oven for 10 minutes to glaze.
