Balsamic Miso Root Salad
We originally made a miso tahini dressing for this, but did some playing in the test kitchen and swapped the tahini for a sweeter balsamic – it ended up making the salad.
1. Gently peel the carrots and parsnips. Leave them whole if they are all the same size – if not, chop the larger veggies to equal the size of the smaller ones. Peel and chop the beets into rough cubes, about 1-inch all around.
2. Place all the veggies onto a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Place in a 400°F degree oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, shaking them periodically for even cooking. Remove from oven when soft, slightly brown and caramelized.
3. Meanwhile, make the dressing. Place all the ingredients aside from the oil in a mixing bowl. Drizzle in the oil while whisking to combine. Season to taste.
4. Plate veggies with dark, leafy winter greens of choice and drizzle dressing generously over top.
