Halloween Roasted Veggies
"With sweet potato jack-o-lanterns, beet root witch’s hats, and spooky potato ghosts, these savory Halloween Roasted Veggies are a healthy Halloween dinner recipe!"
Ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 2 large white potatoes
  • 4 carrots peeled
  • 3 red beets large, medium
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 2 Tbsp rosemary
  • ½ bulb garlic cloves separated with skin still on
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar 5 mL
  • 1 tsp honey 5 mL, or maple syrup for vegan option
Instructions
  • Parboil: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut sweet potatoes and white potatoes in half, width wise, then drop into the boiling water. Boil for 5 minutes, then remove. Drop whole beets and carrots into the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Cut: Cut the potatoes into ½ inch thick (1 cm) slabs. With a small paring knife or with a cookie cutter, cut jac-o-lantern shapes into the sweet potatoes. Do the same for the white potatoes, cutting them into ghost shapes (I used a straw to cut out the eyes!) Cut beets them into ½ inch thick slabs, then cut out witch’s hat shapes. We’ll call the carrots witch’s fingers and just leave them be.
  • Bake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C). Set veggies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and rosemary leaves, and toss to evenly coat. Crush garlic cloves with the flat part of your knife and scatter around the pan. Bake for 1 hour, flipping the vegetables halfway through. When you have 10 minutes left, drizzle balsamic over the beets and honey over the carrots, then return to the oven.

** FARM NEWS:  

Marigolds, "flower with many petals", ... so fragrant and colorful in either yellow or orange.. are the most recognizable flower associated with the "Day of the Dead." The flower is placed on graves during this upcoming weekend holiday, November 1 & 2. It is believed to lure souls back from the dead to the land of the living with its vibrant colors and powerful scents. They also symbolize the fragility of life since they bloom in early summer and die with the fall's first frost.  It is native to the Americas and was cultivated for decorative, magical, medicinal and agricultural purposes. Mario has several rows blooming in the greenhouse and he will have beautiful bouquets made from both yellow and orange. Pre-order your special bouquet this week. 

The greenhouse is also full of other produce that will be ready soon. It is not too early to be thinking about ordering your beautiful holiday wreaths... each meticulously made by Mario from greenery on the farm. We will have two sizes.. small ($45) or large ($55). 

Thank you for your continued support of our Century Family Farm!
