GOOD FOR YOU!
The Newton Farmers' Market is on a quest to find what's good for you and then bring it to our markets on Elm Street & Cold Spring Park. Good food. Good local small businesses. Good experiences. Good music. This Saturday's farmers' market exercise class is another offering that's good for all of us!

Please let us know how we're doing and share your ideas of what you'd like to see at the markets by contacting us here:

WHAT WE'RE EATING NOW
ROASTED GRAPES
Grapes are in season and roasted grapes make an easy addition to any meal. Our favorite recipe for roasting them is here. They're great as part of a cheese plate or served over vanilla frozen yogurt or icecream. Epicurious has even more ideas of how to incorporate roasted grapes in your meals.
ROASTED VEGGIES
Our go to recipe for roasted vegetables is from The New York Times. We love that it's featured in "Five Easy Meals for the Distracted Cook." This recipe yields 4 - 6 servings & takes 30 min - 1 hour.
INGREDIENTS
  • 2 to 3 pounds root or dense vegetable, peeled if you like and cut into 1-inch chunks or wedges (carrots, beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips, radishes, rutabaga, winter squashes)
  •  Oil (olive, coconut or grapeseed)
  •  Salt and pepper
  •  Fried eggs and/or plain yogurt
  •  Fresh herbs, torn or chopped

PREPARATION
  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss vegetables with oil, salt, and pepper. Roast, 30 minutes to an hour, stirring at least once or twice during roasting for even cooking and browning.
  2. Serve with fried eggs and/or yogurt, ground black pepper and plenty of torn herbs on top.

Tips
  • You can use 2 pounds high-moisture vegetables instead (eggplant, peppers, zucchini, fennel, onions, brussels sprouts). Slice them and cut into chunks or wedges. Roast at 450 degrees until golden brown all over, 10 to 40 minutes depending on variety and the size of the pieces.
  • Or use 1 to 2 pounds hardy green vegetables (broccoli rabe, snow peas, green beans, kale, collard greens, chard) or cherry tomatoes, trimmed. Roast at 450 degrees for 7 to 15 minutes.
