Autumn Vegetable Medley with Rosemary and Nutmeg

Here is the recipe that insipired the food blog. I didn't have any parsnips so I left them out. We got a fennel bulb at our local Farmer's Market. Very easy and soo delicious!

1 (9-ounce) fennel bulb with stalks
2 cups (1/2-inch) cubed peeled butternut squash
1 1/2 cups (1-inch-thick) slices parsnip
1 1/2 cups (1-inch-thick) slices carrot1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Dash freshly grated nutmeg
Cooking spray
1/3 cup (1 1/2 ounces) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (optional)

Preheat oven to 425°.

Trim tough outer leaves from fennel. Cut fennel bulb in half lengthwise; discard core. Cut each half into three wedges. Combine fennel, squash, and next 7 ingredients (through nutmeg) in a large shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 425° for 35 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle vegetable mixture with cheese, if desired. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup vegetable mixture)

WOW..............I MUST MAKE IT!

I'll let you know how it turns out.

Did you have it with any accompaniments or was it a SOLO Dish ?

Some hearty, grainy, dark brown bread with flavored olive oil would be good with it, no ?

My Mouth Is watering,

It was delicious! We did have it as a side but now I can't remember what the main course was :)

Joey made it for dinner again tonight!
