TAKING ROOT

Bring new life to root veggies with these fun and inventive seasonal recipes.

Root veggies take a star turn with inventive recipes including a colourful scalloped dish, a slow‑cooker option, fantastic stuffed beets and more.

Autumn root vegetables—beets, potatoes, carrots, parsnips—are at the centre of most harvest feasts, and for good reason. They’re affordable, nutritious, filling and comforting—and more versatile than you might think. Here, we’ve used sweet potatoes rather than pumpkin in scrumptious pies. On the next few pages, we’ve paired all our favourite roots with classic fall flavours—apple, nutmeg, rosemary, bacon, German bratwurst—and offer a crunchy counterpoint to all the silkiness, with nuts, panko and crispy pizza crust. We’ve even given roasted beets a lift with a splash of vanilla vodka.
