Spiced Maple-Cider Roasted Vegetables

Hello, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that perfectly captures the cozy and comforting flavors of fall. As the temperatures start to drop and the leaves begin to change, I love nothing more than creating dishes that embrace the essence of the season. This recipe for Spiced Maple-Cider Roasted Vegetables is a flavorful and colorful side dish that will elevate any autumn meal.

To start, gather these ingredients:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 parsnips, peeled and sliced
• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• to taste

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• knife
• cutting board
• whisk

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes, sliced parsnips, carrots, and red onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Pour the maple-cider mixture over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through cooking.

Once the vegetables are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. The sweet and savory flavors of the maple-cider glaze combined with the warm spices of cinnamon and nutmeg will create a dish that’s both delicious and aromatic.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 800 grams, with 6 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 133 grams and is around 150 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts over the roasted vegetables during the last 10 minutes of cooking for an added crunch and nutty flavor.

I hope you give this Spiced Maple-Cider Roasted Vegetables recipe a try and enjoy the wonderful flavors of fall. Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking or add your favorite seasonal herbs for an extra burst of freshness. Happy cooking!
