Vegetables that are in season all winter

During the winter many of us avoid the farmer's market thinking we won't find fresh in season produce there.

The fact is that long after the blueberries are gone, there is still a variety of vitamin packed vegetables to choose from all winter long. 

Some great choices are sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, brussel sprouts and winter squash.

Not only are they full of vitamins, minerals and fiber, they also fight against disease.

Here's a simple roasted vegetable recipe, that goes perfect along side many main dishes.

Ingredients;

10 brussel sprouts, halved

2 large beets, sliced

2 medium parsnips, chopped

3 medium carrots. chopped

Extra virgin olive oil

Sea salt

Black pepper

1 tbs thyme

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 tbs rosemary

Preheat oven to 450.

Place all chopped vegetables on a large baking sheet.

Drizzle a good amount of olive oil over the vegetables.

Add the herbs.

Season with sea salt and pepper.

Toss well and roast in the oven, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.

Serve with your favorite main dish.
