Roasted Veggies with Turmeric - 12.5g Carbs, 4g Fiber, 3.7g Sugar

From: www.nancynewcomer.com

I love the simplicity of this dish and the fact that it can be made
with just about any vegetable in season. It will make a lovely
addition to your holiday table. Enjoy!
Serves: 10

2 fennel bulbs, trimmed & quartered
1 sweet potato, peeled & cubed
12 brussels sprouts, halved
1 large red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 medium red onion, peeled & quartered
2 carrots, sliced
2 yellow squash, sliced
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground turmeric
Sea salt
Black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Prep veggies.

In a large bowl combine fennel, sweet potato and brussels sprouts.
Drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil and mix again. Pour onto baking sheets
so they are evenly spread out.

Combine all the remaining vegetables in a bowl and drizzle with
1 Tbsp olive oil and mix. Spread out evenly on separate baking sheet.
Put in oven and roast for 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them. From my experience, ovens vary in temperature and cooking time, so it's best
to watch your veggies until you have a feel for how fast yours cooks.
Typically the fennel, sweet potato, & brussels sprout combo will take
a little longer to roast so it's a good idea to keep them together.

When done, pour into serving dish and sprinkle with turmeric and salt
& pepper to taste. The turmeric adds a nice mild flavor and a lovely
golden hue that is perfect for your fall harvest table.

Please note: You may try this with ANY vegetable combination of your preference. I like to put together a variety of colors to brighten
up my table. The turmeric really tastes great with everything.
