This recipe for Best Ever Roasted Root Vegetables with Pistachio Crumble is one of my all-time favorite side dishes (I know I say that a lot, but this one is killer)!
First, even though it seems like it should be an Autumn or Winter recipe, root veggies are available year-round, so any time of year is a great time.ย Second, the glaze has honey and rosemary in it;ย ingredients that are also found any time of the year.ย And, finally, the pistachio crumble gets brightened up with lemon juice & zest, so again, it’s perfect for a summer side!
Start with similar-sized pieces of vegetables and roast them.ย Be sure that you don’t crowd the pieces.ย If you do, they will steam and won’t caramelize.
After they’ve roasted for a while, you glaze them with a honey-butter sauce, sprinkle them with rosemary, and back in the oven these babies go!
While they’re roasting, you make the Pistachio Crumble, which is a combination of Pistachio nuts, Parmesan, honey, rosemary and a few other goodies.ย Once they veggies are done, just sprinkle the crumble over and remember to say “Thank you, Francine”!ย These will become your Best Ever Roasted Root Vegetables, too!
