PRINT RECIPE

I love the simplicity of this recipe, and the way a little ground cumin can transform these sweet root vegetables into much more of a celebration of Southwest flavors. Make sure your spices are fresh — any jars that have been sitting in your pantry for more than about six months should be replaced with more fragrant and flavorful spices.
