Roasted vegetables are the highlight of Fall and Winter side dishes, and the roasted brussels sprouts, Parsnips, and Carrots are one of the staple menu items for our winter entertaining.

The root vegetables develop their natural sweetness, while the cruciferous vegetables benefit from the caramelization and the browning to intensify their nutty and sweet flavor.

A side dish that pairs perfectly with Autumn and Winter menus.
