Warm up with this colorful, easy combination of roasted root vegetables. Feel free to experiment with other similar vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, turnips, rutabagas, and/or winter squash. It’s important to cut all the roasting vegetables into uniformly sized pieces so that the cooking time will be the same for all. Aim for small, bite-sized chunks or cubes about 3/4 inch in size.
