Sweet-and-Spicy Root Vegetables


Recipe by Chavi Feldman

The heady smell this satisfying veggie dish filled the house with while cooking all day was enough to have me counting down the hours until I got to sample it. Needless to say, it didn’t disappoint. The added heat balances well with the sweet-and-tangy sauce, and the inclusion of the crunchy nut topping adds some additional interest.

Serves 6

  • 4 cubes frozen sautéed onions
  • 1 1-lb (450-g) bag baby carrots
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 small parsnips, cubed
  • 1 turnip, cubed
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup apricot jam
  • 2 Tbsp oil
  • zest of 1 orange
  • ½ tsp chili-lime spice
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • ½ cup chopped dry-roasted and salted pecans, for garnish

Place all ingredients in your Crock-Pot. Cook on low for 4–5 hours, or until the vegetables are soft but not mushy.

To serve, remove the vegetables from the Crock-Pot and transfer to a large serving tray. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and pecans.
