ROASTED PILGRIM VEGETABLES

Peel a few of the following:

carrots
turnips
parsnips
rutabagas (a couple - these are big)
onions
potatoes

Place vegetables whole in roaster. Roast 'em at about 400 degrees until they are done (not mushy, but soft). Let 'em cool a bit and slice into medium sized chunks all together into a baking dish. Season with a bit of butter or Smart Balance (SB not authentic) and salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently just once and refrigerate. Reheat when ready to serve. Can be done the day before.
