Chef Meg's Roasted Root Vegetables - 15.8g Carbs, 3.2g Fiber, 3.3g Sugar

From: SparkPeople user CHEF_MEG

This recipe sings of the fall and early winter harvest. Take advantage
of the local farmers market and buy whatever root vegetables they have.
I like a bite to the vegetables, so I drizzle a small amount of balsamic
vinegar over the vegetables while they are still hot.

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 red onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 turnip, peeled and diced
1 yam OR sweet potato, peeled and diced
2 parsnips, peeled and diced
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
1 pinch salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, optional

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet pan with nonstick
cooking spray.

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl; toss to combine.

Place mixture on a sheet pan. Bake 30 minutes, turning vegetables every
10 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly browned. Drizzle
with balsamic vinegar before serving.
