ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES WITH CHERMOULA

Roasted Root Vegetables With Chermoula image

Here, a medley of root vegetables and winter squash are roasted with chermoula (also spelled charmoula), a quintessential Moroccan spice combination. (Any combination will work in this dish; start with about 12 cups of peeled vegetable pieces.) Be sure to peel turnips well; their skin is thicker and more fibrous than other root vegetables'. Exchanges: 2 starch, 1 vegetable, 2 fat (2 Carbohydrate Servings). From EatingWell magazine, September/October 2008 and posted for ZWT 6 - North Africa / Middle Eastern region.
