I know this isn't winter but these veggies are just as good now than they are several months from now. I was looking for a healthy, veggie side dish to go with the smashed chickpea and avocado salad sandwich. I figured this would be a good recipe to try and it would make A LOT to share with my co-workers.
I loved this! I think it ate it for 3 days. I love the light dressing added to typical roasted veggies. I'd totally make this again!
1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 small sweet potato, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 carrot, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch rounds
1 parsnip, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds) peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup walnuts
1 and 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a roasting pan, toss the onion, sweet potato, carrot, parsnip, and butternut squash two tablespoons of the olive oil. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and roast for about 45 minutes, stirring once or twice, or until tender and lightly browned in spots.
Meanwhile, spread the walnuts in a nonstick skillet and toast over medium heat until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 6 minutes. Once the walnuts have cooled, coarsely chop and set them aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and fold in the parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Add the vegetables and the walnuts to the dressing and toss. Top the salad with the feta and serve warm or at room temperature.
