A light, yet filling dish of root vegetables glazed with a slightly tangy/sweet dressing; simply delicious! Serve with meat, chicken, or even fish dishes. One of the challenges of living in Eretz Yisrael during shmita is not having the availability of various vegetables. I tested this dish using just the basics. However, you can add whatever root vegetables you’d like, i.e., turnip, parsnip, etc. Feel free to experiment.
