I don't know how November rolled around so quickly, but here we are at the starting line of the holiday season. Last year Jason and I didn't even participate in the family Thanksgiving meal. We decided to opt out of the gathering in favor of a low-key holiday and went to a Brazilian steakhouse instead. My grandparents always dined out on Thanksgiving in their older years, and now that I'm getting older, I'm starting to realize that they were onto something there. I don't think we're going to be let off the hook so easily this year since we plan on staying in Indiana for a change, so I've been gathering up some easy recipes so we can at least keep it as simple as possible. Thanksgiving for me is always about the side dishes. I love the salads, potatoes, beans, rolls and stuffing. But aside from my mom's marshmallow topped sweet potatoes (sorry mom, those are just gross), I love all of the other veggies that get put on the table. I love this time of the year because root vegetables fresh from the oven are my favorite. That's why when I saw this simple but delicious sounding Roasted Root Vegetable recipe on Golden Blossom Honey, I bookmarked it in case we will be attending the family gathering this year. 

 

Roasted root vegetables aren't a new concept, but what intrigued me about this recipe was the crumb topping. I don't normally put a breadcrumb topping on my veggies and was curious how it would turn out. I did stray from the recipe just a touch and used butter instead of olive oil for the crumb portion because I wanted a richer tasting topping, and will say that it did not disappoint. Turnips aren't something that I make often here, so I was glad to find a recipe to utilize them more. If you aren't a fan of root vegetables, you could easily swap out some of the veggies here for others and it would still come together quite well. The recipe was minimally challenging to toss together, and while roasting does take some time it wasn't necessarily fast, but the simplicity made it worthwhile and one to definitely add to the holiday menu.
