Maple Root Vegetables

Ingredients

3 small sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled, scrubbed and cut into wedges

1 pound baby carrots, washed and tips/greens discarded

5 small parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, tips/core/greens discarded

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup real maple syrup

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

Juice of one lemon

Juice of one small orange

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and position a rack in the center of the oven.

In a large bowl, combine all of the above ingredients, in addition to a few good grinds of pepper and a teaspoon of salt, and then using your hands or a spoon, fold to evenly coat the vegetables.

Pour the contents of the bowl onto a baking sheet, lined with foil and roast, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are browned and tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Season to taste.
