Roasted Kabocha and Parsnips with Maple Glaze


I am in the midst of my cooking for the Jewish holidays and I decided the easiest way to accomplish my goals is to use specific ingredients in several recipes.  For example, I made a large pot of rice and made four different dishes with the rice.  I did the same with quinoa and with kabocha.  It seemed amazing how quickly completely different dishes fell into place.

This recipe is from Bon Appetit.

Roasted Kabocha and Parsnips with Maple Glaze(adapted)


INGREDIENTS


2 cups 1/2-inch cubes peeled kabocha squash
2 cups 1/4- to 1/3-inch cubes peeled parsnips
2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Method:

Grease 11x7x2-inch  baking dish. 

Combine kabocha and parsnips in large bowl. 

Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add oil.

Whisk in remaining ingredients. 

Add to squash mixture and toss to coat. 

Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. 



Preheat oven to 375°F. 

Cover squash mixture with foil. Bake covered 40 minutes.

 Uncover; bake until all vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes longer. 

Eat and enjoy.

    Chaya,
    I love your idea for speeding up the cooking by repeating ingredients. I know parsnips are good, but I would never think to use them in a side dish.- I only have used them in soup. Looks good!

    I'm always looking for new ways to serve squash and my family love parsnips so this is the perfect recipe for us, Chaya. Love the addition of the maple syrup. Thank you for sharing it with us at the Hearth and Soul hop.

    That's a great tip for holiday cooking. Or even cooking for several days at a time.
    The glaze with maple and rosemary sounds tasty, Chaya.
    Thank you for sharing.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
