1cupfresh herbsyou can use a mix of things - whatever you have will work. I used a little fresh sage, some fresh basil, a rosemary sprig or two, and fresh parsley
1cupof tangerine juiceor so, use orange juice if you can't find tangerines
1teaspoondijon mustard
1tablespoonrice vinegar
½teaspoonsea salt
a few turns fresh cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place all of the veggies into a large mixing bowl and add the herbs, tangerine juice, mustard, rice vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir until all of the ingredients are combined.
Place the veggies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with a little extra salt and pepper, and bake for 50 - 60 minutes, until they are done to your liking. When you add the veggies to the baking sheet, be sure to add all of the liquid in the bowl as well.
After the first 25 minutes, take them out of the oven and flip the veggies over with a spatula . Place them back in the oven until they are done.
Notes
If you want your root veggies softer in the middle, you can parboil them first.To do this, bring a pot of water to a boil, add the veggies and boil them for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, take them out of the water, drain them, and continue with the recipe - cut the veggies, add them to a bowl, add the liquid and herbs, etc.You can use whatever root veggies you want or that you happen to have in your kitchen. I never peel my root veggies, but you are welcome to do so. You can cut them however you like. Some people like big chunks, other people like smaller, more manageable bites.Bottom line - there's no right or wrong way to do this, and you can't screw it up. The two most important steps is to make sure you add liquid before you bake them so they won't get dry, and to make sure you place the veggies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper so they won't stick to the baking sheet. You got this!
