November 9-13, 2020: Cooking with Root Vegetables This Week

One of the best things about fall—aside from Halloween, pumpkin spiced lattes and cozy sweaters—is the abundance of root vegetables at the grocery store. From classics you already love (carrots, beets, sweet potatoes) to some you may not have tried before (kohlrabi), we’ve got five recipes featuring some of our favourite underground darlings!

Monday: Beet and Tofu Deli Sandwich

How about a tasty deli sandwich…minus the meat? Yes, we’ve swapped the usual cold cuts for sweet, earthy beets and tofu, which take on the red colour of the root vegetable. With crunchy cucumbers, fresh herbs and a creamy dressing, it’s the perfect recipe for when you’re craving a sandwich for dinner but want something a little different!

Tuesday: Baked Almond-Crusted Chicken with Carrot Purée

Looking for a weeknight chicken recipe that the whole family will enjoy? Crispy sheet-pan chicken is a must, especially when paired with a colourful carrot purée. (Yes, the kids are sure to eat it!) Served with an apricot dipping sauce, it’ll quickly become a favourite in your household.

Wednesday: Braised Cabbage with Sausage and Sweet Potato

Cabbage with sausage is a classic combination, and the addition of sweet potato brings some sweetness and starchiness to it. Quick and easy to make, and all in one pot, it’s the perfect cozy dish for those cold fall evenings.
