Spiced Honey Glazed Roasted Root Vegetables

Spiced Honey Glazed Roasted Root Vegetables Recipe

One of the best things about fall is root vegetables – and one of the best ways to enjoy them is to roast them!  This recipe for spiced honey glaze roasted root vegetables serves them tossed with a luscious glaze flavored with lemon, honey and spices these turnips, parsnips and rutabagas. Your root veggies have never tasted so good!

Rutabaga and turnips are cruciferous vegetables which help rebalance your estrogen levels by supporting your liver (the liver plays a key role in getting rid of metabolized estrogens). I love how highly healing these crucifers are and surprisingly delicious they are when roasted.
