“This
medley is an updated version of a recipe my mom grew up with. It’s my
favorite way to prepare veggies and is marvelous with a batch of hot
rolls.”
—Julie Butler
Ingredients
- 1 whole garlic bulb
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound fresh beets
- 3 medium parsnips
- 2 small rutabagas
- 2 medium turnips

- 2 large red onions, cut into wedges
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 15 whole peppercorns
- 3 bay leaves
- 1/2 cup white wine or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth

Directions
- Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut top off of garlic bulb. Brush with 1/2 teaspoon oil. Wrap bulb in heavy-duty foil.
- Peel the beets, parsnips, rutabagas, turnips and carrots; cut into 2-in. pieces. Place in a large bowl; add the onions, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves and remaining oil. Toss to coat.
- Transfer to three greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Place garlic on one of the pans.
- Bake at 400° for 35 minutes or until garlic is softened, stirring once. Remove garlic; set aside to cool. Drizzle wine and broth over vegetables. Bake 20-30 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Squeeze softened garlic over vegetables; dot with butter. Transfer to a serving platter. Yield: 13 servings (3/4 cup each).
