I love roasted root vegetables! If I could have them every day I would but I unfortunately do not always have the time to cut up all the vegetables. This a great recipe to use when you want to make a good impression and don’t mind spending a little time in the kitchen. This recipe has some maple syrup in it so it give the roasted vegetables a nice sweet flavor.
