Ina’s Tip

I really find that it reduces baking time if one steams the vegetables on the stove or in the microsteamer (keep beetroot separate) for 5 - 10 minutes until just tender. Toss the hot vegetables with the Seasoning and Balsamic Vinaigrette and proceed as above. Bake for 30 minutes.

Method:

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat oven to 220 °C.

Cut the onions into wedges and break the 'leaves' apart. Scrub the turnips (no need to peel) and cut each into 6 wedges. Scrub the unpeeled potatoes and cut into 8 wedges. Scrub the carrots and cut on the diagonal into 2 cm lengths. Scrub the sweet potatoes and slice into 1 cm thick half rings.

Peel the beetroot, leaving a bit of root, and cut each into 6 wedges. Toss all the vegetables (except the beetroot) together in a flat ovenproof dish or pan. Season with Green Onion Seasoning and toss with ¾ of the bottle of Balsamic Vinaigrette. Shake the pan to level the vegetables.

Place the beetroot in a separate small dish, season and coat with the remaining vinaigrette.

Roast the vegetables open for 45 minutes. Toss with fresh herbs before serving.
