Ingredients: 

1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut lengthwise 
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut lengthwise (Allison uses a mix of regular carrots and rainbow carrots)
5 to 8 mini peppers, split lengthwise, seeds removed
1 pound butternut squash, peeled and cubed (can use frozen/thawed) or 2 sweet potatoes, cubed in 2-inch pieces
1 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed
1 pound small brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 to 3 small purple or new potatoes, quartered
3 fresh thyme sprigs
5 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head radicchio, separated into leaves
4 tablespoons fresh pomegranate seeds
Apple Cider Vinaigrette (recipe follows)

Apple Cider Vinaigrette

¾ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup fresh orange juice
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Recipe directions: 

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Divide the vegetables between two parchment paper-lined sheet pans. Drizzle with the olive or avocado oil, salt, and pepper and toss to coat. Spread the vegetables in a single layer, don’t overcrowd. Roast the vegetables for 20 minutes, stir, and roast for another 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely and store the vegetables in the refrigerator at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.

To serve, allow the vegetables to come to room temperature or heat in a 200-degree oven for 20 minutes. Pour ¼ cup of the vinaigrette over and toss to coat. Arrange the radicchio leaves on a serving platter, then spoon the vegetables on top of the leaves. Season with salt and pepper and serve the remaining vinaigrette on the side.
