Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Madras curry powder
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Generous pinch of sea salt
  • Generous pinch of freshly ground pepper
  • 5 carrots, about 1 lb. total, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 or 3 parsnips, about 1 lb. total, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 or 2 turnips, about 1 lb. total, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large red onion, cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 8 large garlic cloves
  • 3 Tbs. coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Instruction

  • Preheat an oven to 500°F.
  • In a fry pan over medium heat, toast the curry powder, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately transfer the curry powder to a large bowl. Stir the oil, salt and pepper into the curry powder. Add the carrots, parsnips, turnip, onion and garlic, and toss to coat well.
  • Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on 1 or 2 rimmed baking sheets. Roast the vegetables, turning them once after 15 minutes, until they are just tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the roasted vegetables to a warmed serving dish, sprinkle with the cilantro and stir gently to combine. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
