Roasted Root Vegetables

We had the pleasure and good fortune of finding beautiful herbs, vegetables and organic meats at our local Farmer's Market over the summer and although the selection available these past couple of weeks has lessened some, there is still an outstanding choice of Autumn root veggies and thick leaved, late season greens to choose from.  These beets and carrots are just two examples.

Down through the generations many of us grew up repulsed by the flavorless, over-boiled, mushy, colorless veggies piled unceremoniously next to our meatloaf or pot roast. Now, I can't in good conscious lay the blame for that on my mother. She learned how to cook from her mother and naturally, grandma learned from hers, etc. Today, we've (thankfully) realized how much better it is not to boil the heck out of them.
