Ingredients

2 large fresh fennel bulbs (about 1 1/2 pounds total), trimmed, each cut into 8 wedges; 2 tablespoons chopped fronds reserved
12 ounces baby carrots (from about 4 bunches), trimmed, peeled
8 ounces turnips, peeled, cut into 3/4-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
8 ounces 1 1/2-inch red-skinned new potatoes, halved
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon saffron threads, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1 onion, chopped
4 plum tomatoes, chopped, seeds and juices reserved
2 1/4 cups arborio rice or medium-grain rice
1 14-ounce can vegetable broth
2 cups water
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup drained canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss fennel bulbs, carrots, turnips, potatoes, and 1/4 cup oil in large bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to large rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender and brown around edges, about 1 hour.
Finely mince 1/4 cup parsley and garlic together. Transfer to small bowl. Stir in paprika, saffron and 1 teaspoon salt.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saut�� until soft, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes; sauté 2 minutes. Add rice and parsley mixture; stir 2 minutes. Stir in broth, water, and wine; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in asparagus, garbanzo beans, and roasted vegetables.
