Roast vegetables

[Patricia]

Has anyone ever roasted swedes or turnips?

I saw Delia Smith do it on a cooking show on the weekend so I have thrown a few in with the leg of lamb...I hope they are nice....also having roasted parsnips and onions and carrots along with the potatoes and sweet potatoes.

[Beverley]

Yes I have. They are quite nice. I always do my onions and carrots that way and it's the only way I will eat pumpkin and sweet potatoes.

Hope you like them. Let us know won't you.

My husband roast swedes all the time, and loves it, I havn't tried it as I hate swede, if you don't like it Lucy will, :Hehe: how do you roast onion without them falling apart :) I tried a couple of times told my husband that I have roast onion for you tonight, he gets all excited go to dish it out, and gone can't find them :dk:

[Beverley]

I leave the 'fluffy' bit on the end...you know not the pointy end and they seem to stay together....I love roast onions...and pumpkin with the skin and I eat the skin.

[Beverley]

pumpkin with the skin and I eat the skin

Ugh!!! Tried it once. Don't like pumpkin that much.

[Patricia]

Yes my pumkin (jap) has the skin on tonight...Di I think you should advise the government about your missing onions,,,very mysterious..my dad roasts onions whole and with their skins on...drives Mum insane!

[Naomi]

Ok, is swede the one that looks like anaemic carrot or the one that's more of a turnip shape?

I've had the carrot one (I think) at MILs, I do like them but it just doesn't occur to me to buy them unless I;m making soup.

I love roast veges and I like to have the onions roasted with the other veges for the flavour but I don't eat the onion. I love potato, pumpkin, sweet potato, carrot ... all roasted. So yummy.

[Patricia]

The white carrot looking one is parsnip..and the rounder one is swede or turnip.

[Naomi]

Oh how embarassing, you actually said turnip in your OP ... I really should learn to read properly. Man, I need to take cooking lessons from you, your roast sounds way more exciting than ours!

[sandydee]

jap pumpkin that is my fav:yes: oh and i love sweet spud:yes: pumkin with the skin on oh yes:yes:

[Barbara]

I've had it before and it is very nice - I love all roast vegies :)

[Beverley]

Well, tell us what it was like please??

[sjc]

I love baked swedes and turnips. I also like turnips boiled with carrot.

[Supa]

to roast an onion without it falling apart stick a couple of toothpicks through it. Also when roasting your pumpkin sprinkle the top with brown sugar, it carmelises on the top & is sooooooo yummo

[Beverley]

Tina - I might try that. Might get me to eat more pumpkin. I only like butternut pumpkins anyway.

[Patricia]

Well the whole dinner was a huge success and the swede was really tasty..will make sure I do them again with the next roast.

[Di Nana]

Glad you had a yummy tea Patricia,:) I will have to give the onions another try with the tooth picks,

[rails]

I always sprinkle cinnamon over the roast vegies they are yummy.

[~CJJHRA~]

oh roast vegies yum! Gotta love roast pumkin and sweet poatoes..mmmmmm and roast carrots.. oooo guess who might have a roast for dinner Friday if I get to start it early enough. Followed by cake and warm custard... DROOOL!

[GINAinLA]

Ok, here is an example about pumpkins again.. As common as potatoes.I love pumpkin and would prpably eat it more if it were available to us.

I love roasted bellpeppers and Zucchini..and portabello mushrooms. I also like to put half tomatoes and sprinlke parmesan cheese on top and a little EVOO and grill them.
