2 Potatoes
2 Sweet potatoes
2 Onions
2 Parsnips
6 Carrots
1 Rutabaga or 2 Large Turnips
3-4 tbsp Olive Oil
4 tsp Thyme
2-3 Cloves of Garlic
1 tbsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper

**Be sure to peel the wax off of the rutabaga or turnips. All other veggies leave the skin on.**

Cube cut the vegetables into roughly 1" pieces. Thin slice the garlic (powder can be substituted). Mix together into a 15-17" baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixed vegetables, then add seasonings. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

**Alternate Cooking instructions: Using a 6 quart slow cooker, you can mix and season the vegetable. Then set slow cooker to high for 4-5 hours.

    pcole1smile, that recipe sounds awesome! The most I do with butternut squash is to cut them in half, core the seeds, and bake in the skin cut side down in 1/2" of water.
