We are experiencing wonderful warm days and cool nights, which our Fall gardens are enjoying.

Reminder: the Market is able to accept credit, debit and SNAP cards. Just go to the Market Manager, Lyn Hoffman, and she can process your card.

Roasted Fall Vegetables

Roasted Fall Vegetables

With just salt, pepper, a bit of oil, and a hot oven, nearly every vegetable becomes sublime.

  • prep: 20 mins ; total time: 1 hour 20 mins; servings: 8

Ingredients

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds (about 1 medium) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

  • 2 pounds red new potatoes (12 to 14), well scrubbed and quartered

  • 1 pound medium red onions (about 2 to 3), peeled and quartered

  • 1 pound carrots (6 to 8 medium), halved lengthwise, if thick, and cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths

  • 4 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Cook's Note

Cook's Note

Use shallow pans (such as baking sheets) and don't overcrowd vegetables. This allows vegetables to brown rather than steam.

Directions

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide vegetables and garlic between two rimmed baking sheets (or line with parchmentpaper, if desired, for easy cleanup); dividing evenly, toss with oil, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast until vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 40 to 50 minutes, tossing them and rotating sheets from top to bottom halfway through. Serve hot or at room temperature.
