Name: Roasted Root Vegetables
Yield: Makes 8 Servings
Ingredients: 2 large red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams), cut into 11/4-inch-long by 1/2-inch-wide by 1/2-inch-thick strips; 2 large fennel bulbs, cored, cut into 1/3-inch-thick wedges; 1 large celery root (celeriac), peeled, cut into 1 1/4-inch-long by 1/2-inch-wide by 1/2-inch-thick strips; 20 large garlic cloves, peeled; 1 tablespoon dried sage leaves; 6 tablespoons olive oil; 2 bunches green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces; 1/3 cup (about) vegetable stock or canned vegetable broth

"As a confirmed New Englander, I was surprised to find a terrific seafood restaurant in Phoenix: Steamers Genuine," says Barbara J. Johnson of Worcester, Massachusetts. "The baked halibut was perfectly complemented by roasted vegetables and potatoes au gratin. I know how to make the fish, but I wouldn't know where to start with the other two dishes."

This side dish and the Potato Gratin with White Cheddar Cheese would also be good with roast chicken or beef.
