Blue Ribbon Recipe

This roasted root vegetable is a delicious way to use winter produce. Roasting the sweet potatoes beets, carrots, and onions brightens their flavors. The veggies are tossed in a spiced syrup that caramelizes while roasting. Once roasted, they're sprinkled with a little salt to enhance flavors and add a sweet and salty combination. Best served warm, this easy side dish will be delicious alongside roasted chicken or fish.
