Mollie Stone’s deli recently introduced Buttermilk Thyme Roasted Root Vegetables and it has quickly become one of our most popular dishes. It is perfect alongside a fall meal and a great candidate for a Thanksgiving side dish.
One thing we love about this recipe is its flexibility. Double it to feed a crowd. Don’t like, say, parsnips? Simply omit them and increase the amount of sweet potatoes if those are your favorite. We also leave the vegetables unpeeled, which adds a rustic texture and increases nutrition (just be sure to wash the veggies thoroughly).
