Herb Roasted Fennel, Parsnips, Carrots, and Brussels Sprouts (gluten free, vegan)
Roasted vegetables are my favorite. You can roast ANYTHING and it is amazing. For the Pre-Memorial Day backyard family get-together, we decided on a tasty blend of fennel bulbs, parsnips, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and sweet vidalia onions. Kissed with Herbes de Provence and fresh parsley, they are killer. Eat them hot or chill them, they are great either way! Makes lots, so you'll probably have leftovers!

This was delicious. I served it at Thanksgiving dinner - a very easy side dish that made my vegan guests very happy. One comment about the directions. Step 3 mentions removing a baking sheet but the baking sheet wasn't mentioned previously. I'm guessing a baking sheet was used to cover the roasting pan. I actually forgot to cover it and it browned nicely without the extra 10 minutes.
I made a few minor changes based on what I had available. I only had 1 fennel bulb so I substituted celery for the missing one. I used pearl onions (both white & red) instead of onion wedges.
This was so yummy. I'll be roasting vegetables a lot in the future.
Thanks for the note on the baking sheet Devon! I did forget to write that in, and your intuition was correct. I'm so pleased that your guests enjoyed it!
