Ingredients:
1 rutabaga (2 lb/1kg), peeled and cut into ¾-inch (2 cm) cubes
4 parsnips (1 lb/500 g), peeled and cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes
1 cup (250 ml) apple cider
¼ cup (60 ml) butter, melted
4 tsp (20 ml) minced fresh thyme
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
½ tsp (2 ml) pepper
3 leeks (white and light green parts only), cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick rounds
2 sweet red peppers, cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
1 large bulb fennel, trimmed and cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
1 head garlic, separated into cloves and peeled

Toss together rutabaga, parsnips and half each of the cider, butter, thyme, salt and pepper. Spread in greased 13- x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish or small roasting pan. Cover with foil; roast in 425°F (220°C) oven for 15 minutes.
