Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider tossing in some fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary along with the vegetables. If you prefer a sweeter profile, substitute a portion of the turnips with sweet potatoes. Adjust the garlic based on your preference; roasted garlic becomes sweeter and milder. To enhance the dish, drizzle with Phillip'S Greek Vinaigrette before serving for a tangy finish.
Serving Suggestions
This roasted medley serves well as a hearty side dish, complementing roasted meats or a grain-based salad. It pairs beautifully with Spinach-Orange Salad for a refreshing contrast. For a vegan option, serve alongside quinoa or a lentil dish. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for an extra layer of flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the vegetables in a baking dish and cover with foil, warming in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through, about 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave them in short intervals, stirring occasionally.
