Week 15: Cheesy Root Veggie Bake

Source: I have no idea :-) I didn't make it up, but I wrote it down from somewhere without documenting the source

Overall Impression: Wow!
It was ... so easy, slice and ignore while it bakes and YUMMY!

Cheesy Root Veggie Bake
Time = 1 hr 30 min
Servings = 8

Ingredients:

olive oil

2 turnips, peeled

4 golden potatoes

1 large sweet potato, peeled

2 parsnips, peeled

2 carrots, peeled
1/2 onion

1 teaspoon dried rosemary, divided

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

salt and pepper

I didn't snap a picture until it was half gone

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 F.  Slice all veggies to 1/4" thick, except slice the onion as thin as you can.  Grease the inside of a large casserole dish with olive oil.  Layer half the veggies in the casserole dish.  Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon rosemary and some salt and pepper.  Layer half the cheese over.  Repeat - veggies, rosemary, salt/pepper and cheese.  Bake, covered, for 50 minutes.  Check the middle with a knife to see if it's tender enough.  Bake 15 more minutes if necessary.  Uncover in the last 15 minutes if you like the top to get browned.

Notes:

Any root veggies will work.  You can use leeks instead of onions.  Some garlic heads would be good too.
