Carrots: Dress them

I make this often. The rosemary seals the deal (but thyme works too if you have it). Try it: Sweet and sour rosemary carrots.

Squash: Roast it

This recipe is almost effortless, and the maple syrup means even kids like it. Make a double batch and add leftovers to salad. Try it: Maple-roasted squash.

Rutabaga: Mash it

Beets: Grate them

Beets can be a bit fiddly to grate, but add so much sweetness and texture to a salad or slaw. Try it: Beet and carrot salad.
