Roasted Root Vegetables

 

Roasted Root Vegetables

Anyone can make a side of vegetables with dinner, but roasting root vegetables like this takes it to a whole other level. Because root vegetables grow underground, they are very nutrient-dense and contain a lot of health benefits. They taste delicious after roasting in the oven with a little olive oil and some spices. Talk about clean eating!
