roasted root vegetables

It’s a beautiful, clear, crisp fall day – one of those days that smell of the earth and soil. If you are eating seasonally this is the time for all those wonderful root vegetables!

This past Rosh Hashonna – the Jewish celebration of the new year –  my niece made a delicious sweet vegetable dish – this  Sweetened Shoestring Root Vegetables dish!

The holiday emphasizes having a sweet new year and what better way to celebrate, than to make a seasonal root vegetable dish sweetened with traditional, natural sweeteners like raisins and dates.

While I try to add as little sweetener as possible, this dish is awesome for a holiday. It sure beats sweet potatoes with conventional marshmallows!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought I would share it with you!
