01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to keep things from sticking. In a big bowl, toss together the beets, potatoes, parsnips, turnips, and rutabaga with some olive oil, salt, and pepper until everything is nicely coated. Spread the veggies out on your baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 2
Pop them in the oven and roast until the beets are tender when poked with a fork, which usually takes about 40 minutes. While the veggies are roasting, mix the vegetable broth, balsamic vinegar, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl. Once the beets are soft, pour this mixture over the vegetables and pop them back in the oven for another 10 minutes or so, until the liquid has mostly evaporated.

When they're done, transfer the roasted veggies to a serving bowl and toss everything together with some crumbled goat cheese for a creamy finish. Enjoy!

How to serve
Serve alongside roasted meats or grilled fish for a hearty meal. They also work well tossed into salads or grain bowls for added flavor and texture. A dollop of creamy yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can brighten the dish.
