Roasted Autumn Vegetable Succotash by Reuben Major, The Belgard Kitchen
Ingredients
1 butternut squash (peeled, cored, 1 cm diced)
1 large celery root (peeled, 1 cm diced)
3 parsnips (peeled, 1 cm diced)
1 large onion (peeled, 1 cm diced)
1 pint grape tomatoes (halved)
2 cobs corn
1 serrano chili (1/16" coins)
3-4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 small bunch Italian parsley (leaves plucked)
1 tsp cinnamon
Olive oil
Sea salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F.
Toss the diced butternut squash in a minimal amount of olive oil and 1/3 of the minced garlic. Season lightly with sea salt and 1 tsp cinnamon.
Place on a parchment-lined baking pan and roast until the butternut squash is cooked through and begins to dry and brown.
Meanwhile, toss the diced celery root and parsnips and 1/3 of the minced garlic in a minimal amount of olive oil and season lightly with sea salt.
Place on a parchment-lined baking pan and roast until the vegetables are cooked through and begin to dry and brown.
In a pan over medium heat, add enough olive oil to thinly coat the surface of the pan. Once the oil begins to ripple, add the diced onions, 1/3 of the minced garlic and season lightly with sea salt.
Cook, stirring regularly until the onions begin to caramelize to a light golden brown.
Blanch the cobs of corn in boiling, salted water for four minutes. Remove and cut the kernels off of the cob.
In a large bowl, add all of the roasted vegetables, blanched corn, grape tomatoes, caramelized onions, picked parsley and serrano coins. Toss gently with a wooden spoon. The residual heat of the cooked vegetables will warm the tomatoes.
Transfer to a large serving platter
