As grilling vegetables is to summer, roasting vegetables is to winter.
Not only does the cooler weather make it a wonderful time to turn on the oven, but the vegetables available in the winter are practically designed to be roasted.
Most root vegetables, such as beets, parsnips, sweet potatoes, onions, turnips, potatoes and winter squash, are perfect for roasting.
The process of roasting brings out the natural sweetness of vegetables and intensifies their natural flavors.
