This is an easy recipe for cooking root vegetables and it’s a great side dish. I love it because it combines so many vegetables and it adds color to the meal. The less common veggies give this dish great flavor. Celeriac tastes like celery, rutabaga is slightly sweet, and parsnips are deliciously sweet. I recently made a simpler version of it, using only potatoes, beets, and carrots. I didn’t even use the balsamic vinegar and it was delicious. So my advice is to play around with the combinations and make it the way you like it!

[Editor’s Note] Hey, folks, I updated the tags on this recipe to include Daikon. I know daikon appears nowhere in the original list of ingredients, but you could definitely take 2 medium or 1 large daikon and include it with all the other roots in the ingredients. Enjoy!
Did something similar but went in a slightly different direction, but used mostly the same roots.
