Nourish Hint
Feel free to use whatever root vegetables you have on hand, such as sweet potatoes, radishes, parsnips, etc. If you have any greens on hand, toss them with oil and add them with about 10-15 minutes left of cooking time. Save the carcass, along with any vegetable trimmings, for making stock.
