Roasted Root Vegetables

​We love root vegetables at SNAP4CT!  They're budget friendly and last a long time.  What could be better?  Not sure which root vegetables you like?  That's alright!  Try adding some different veggies like turnip or rutabaga in with ones you already like, such as potatoes and carrots.  Add your own seasoning blend and you have a delicious side dish the whole family will love.
