    Roasted Winter Root Vegetables w/ Chimichurri Sauce

    Appetizers, Salads, Sides

    This week we’re bringing you this insanely delicious Roasted Winter Root Vegetable Salad. I got tons of winter vegetables as part of my weekly CSA share, and had no idea what to do with all of them. I figured the easiest and most practical thing to do would be to throw them all in the oven before they went bad. And that’s exactly what this recipe is. The vegetables included in this recipe are beets, carrots, turnips, and parsnips.

    I think it’s safe to say beets and carrots are more popular than the latter two. Have any of you tried cooking with parsnips or turnips? They’re absolutely delicious and filling, and make for a great addition to stews and salads. Parsnips closely resemble carrots, but are less sweet and a bit starchier. Turnips are less starchy than parsnips, and flavor depends on how large the vegetable is. The bigger it is, the more bitter it gets.

    We’ll be using sage to bring all of the different flavors together that each vegetable contributes. Sage has a strong and unique flavor profile, and is super aromatic! It pairs well with the sweetness from the beets and carrots.

    Let’s get started on our delicious Roasted Winter Root Vegetable Salad, shall we?  Start by preheating the oven to 450F. Add all of the vegetables to a baking sheet and top with the fresh sage leaves. Then drizzle the coconut oil evenly onto the sage and vegetables, and pop into the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, and then flip the vegetables and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and serve the roasted vegetables onto 2 plates. Top with chopped walnuts, and finish with salt and black pepper, to taste. You can also add whatever nuts or seeds you love if walnuts aren’t around! For the finishing touch, enjoy with this chimichurri sauce. 

    Which of these vegetables are your favorites to use in the kitchen? Drop us a line in the comments below!

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?! 

Ps have you been listening to our habits series
