Steps:

• Place 2 baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Cut all the vegetables into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Cut the onions through the base core to keep some of the layers in chunky pieces. Toss all the vegetables with garlic, olive oil and salt in large bowl. Season generously with pepper.
• Carefully remove the heated baking sheets from the oven, brush or drizzle with olive oil. Divide the vegetables evenly between the 2 pans, spreading them out to assure they don't steam while roasting. Roast the vegetables until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 220C/450F/Gas mark 7.
• Cut a large piece of baking parchment, greaseproof paper or baking paper to size - it should fit the roasting tray with enough paper to bring the sides up to form a parcel.
• Place all the prepared vegetables into a large mixing bowl and add olive oil to personal taste; I used about 2 tablespoons for my vegetables over the Christmas period.) Mix the vegetables well, making sure that they are all coated in olive oil. Season to taste, remembering that it is nice to sprinkle extra seasonings on before serving. Add a few sprigs of fresh thyme.
• Place all the vegetables into the prepared paper parcel in the roasting tray, and spread them out so that they are more or less even. Bring the sides of the paper up and scrunch it up in the middle to form a big paper parcel!
• Place the vegetables in the pre-heated oven and cook for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes has elapsed - carefully take the vegetables out and open up the paper parcel to allow the vegetables to crisp up and go brown and crunchy - give them a gentle stir and place them back into the oven. Turn the heat up to 250C/495F/Gas Mark 8 and allow them to continue roasting for a further 15 to 20 minutes, or until soft, crispy and golden brown with some charred edges.
• Place them on a large serving platter in the paper if you wish or place them into a large serving dish - sprinkle with more seasonings and garnish with fresh thyme.
• Smaller parcels of root vegetables can be cooked, but you will need to reduce the cooking times by about 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut 1 pound each carrots and parsnips and 2 bulbs celery root into 3/4-inch chunks. Toss with 4 tablespoons melted butter, and salt and pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast at 400 degrees F until tender and golden, 30 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and position a rack in the center of the oven.
• On a baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes, carrots, and parsnips with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Roast stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are browned and tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Cook's Note: We recommend golden olive oil for its smooth finish and low acidity. The golden color comes from olive pressed at the peak of ripeness. These oils are made in California, southern France and Sicily.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss vegetables with dressing.
• Spread evenly into 15x10x1-inch baking pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake 45 min. or until vegetables are tender and golden brown, stirring after 30 min.

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Once browned, put in the onions, bell pepper and jalapeno. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and drain grease.
• Return beef mixture to a large stockpot. Add the remaining ingredients and cover the pot. Simmer on medium-low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
