Roast Carrot and Swede
I was trying to find something to go with a leftover pumpkin risotto I made the other day. Looked in my vegie draw and saw a swede, at first I thought “Hmmm, I wonder what this’ll taste like caramelised”. then i thought “carrot will go great with swede” i remember having mashed swede and carrot alot when i was a kid and I went through a caramelized carrot obsession over Christmas. But I wanted something different, something new that i hadn’t tried before. My tastebuds ached for a new adventure and so we set sail. Note: I should mention that a swede is a vegetable and not a person from Sweden.
