Root vegetables are the unofficial dags of the veggie world. But we just love them for adding variety and nutrients to our recipes.
Roots are particularly great for packing extra veggies into winter-warming soups, casseroles and one-pot wonders. Plus, they’re often much cheaper than their grow-above-ground cousins. Long live the daggy veg!
Foolproof Fennel Soup
We love fennel for its warming, aniseed taste. It lends itself beautifully to both savoury and sweet dishes. This soup pairs fennel with another rooty favourite – the humble potato – for a comforting soup that’s full of flavour.
Sweet Potato “Toast” with Avocado, Cucumber, Smoked Salmon + Poached Egg
Oh sweet potato, is there anything you can’t do? This little brekky subs out toast and subs in a slice of sweet potato underneath all that eggy, avocadoy deliciousness. But why stop at breakfast? Get creative with your toppings and enjoy this “toast” with any meal!
Celery Root, Sweet Potato + Quinoa Crumble
Don’t let celery root’s totally bizarre appearance fool you. This ugly duckling (also known as celeriac) is actually a beautiful swan! Its herby flavour pairs perfectly with sweet potato, Parmesan and quinoa in this crispy, crumbly bowl of goodness.
One-Pot Chicken and Parsnip Stew
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Who doesn’t love a fuss-free dish jam-packed with flavour? Combining the sweetness of parsnips with thyme and rosemary, the whole family’s sure to love this one-pot miracle.
Fluffy Carrot Mousse
Light, fluffy with a touch of warming spice, this baby is just simple, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Serve as a side or in individual ramekins as a tasty vegetable-packed snack. The kids will love it, too!
Beetroot Red Velvet Cheesecake
This decadent dessert is a star of Sarah’s I Quit Sugar: Simplicious. With its rich cheesecake filling smothered in dark chocolate and candied beetroot, it’s sure to be a show-stopper at your next special occasion. Daggy? Not so much!
