Roasted Harvest Vegetable Medley

This dish has some major "wow factor". I absolutely love roasting with such fun ingredients. The flavor is unbeatable. In stead of going the traditional route and fixing Yams, or Mashed Potatoes, give this recipe a whirl. It may be just the thing to give your Thanksgiving Feast a fresh perspective!

Fingerling Potatoes are so awesome. They have such a delicate, buttery flavor that melts in your mouth. Not to mention the gorgeous Purple Fingerlings! They are so pretty in any dish. Parsnips are one of the uncelebrated vegetables that just doesn't get enough credit in my book... I really love roasted parsnips! You could switch it up, and pick your favorite roasting veggies and make this dish your own. Here is how I like it:
