Roast Veggies

This was super easy and no fuss since I was already roasting a chicken anyway. The maple syrup didn't leave much of a flavor, it just helped everything caramelize. I made this with golden beets, in my unending quest to get Chris to like beets, I think the golden beets made this dish look very fall-y. Nice warm brown, orange and gold colors. I think the green onion sets this off beautifully, don't know what red beets would do to the presentation... I imagine make everything pink.

I added an extra carrot and an extra parsnip rather than a rutabaga, cause they're gross and parsnips are delicious. Next time I might nix the carrot altogether. I also subbed yams for the sweet potato because I like their flavor better. I thought the cook time was a little long. Everything was tender after 1 hour. that might be because I sliced them a little small. I totally forgot the green onion and the butter. Next time! Definitely a good solid recipe.
