Roasted Root Vegetables

Got this from Gracie years ago..

Give yourself a reason to eat your vegetables


8 carrots, cut into 2-inch slices
6 parsnips, cut into quarters
6 turnips, cut into quarters
6 leek bulbs, cut into quarters
6 red potatoes, cut into quarters
4 kohlrabi, cut into quarters
2 red onions, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
1 head garlic, separated into cloves
6 Tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
2 cups chicken stock
1 envelope onion soup mix
Salt and pepper to taste

HINT:  Prevent teary eyes by quartering the onions under cold running water.
 
TO PREPARE:

Saute the carrots, parsnips, turnips, leeks, red potatoes, kohlrabi, onions and garlic in batches in the oil in a skillet until light brown; use 1 to 2 Tablespoons of oil per batch. May saute the vegetables in advance and store in the refrigerator.  Bring to room temperature before roasting.

Spoon the sauteed vegetables into a roasting pan.  Stir in the stock and soup mix. Roast at 350 degrees for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until done to taste, adding additional stock as needed.  Season with salt and pepper.
