Roasted Beets and Carrots
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a baking sheet, or line it with foil. Peel and chop beets and carrots into chunks about 3/4". Toss in a large bowl with enough olive oil and salt to coat. Add a little maple syrup and minced ginger for sweetness if desired. Pour out into a single layer on the baking sheet, and bake for 35-40 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking time.
The lovely woman-child Kaa was mercilessly chained to the cruel post of
the warrior-chief Beast, with his barbarian tribe now stacking wood at
her nubile feet, when the strong clear voice of the poetic and heroic
Handsomas roared, 'Flick your Bic, crisp that chick, and you'll feel my
steel through your last meal!'
-- Winning sentence, 1984 Bulwer-Lytton bad fiction contest.
