"This recipe makes the most of fall's harvest, so try to seek out a variety of different colored root vegetables, like yellow beets and candy stripe beets as well as purple carrots and yellow carrots. As well as making it even more of a visual feast, you’ll get to appreciate their nuanced flavors!"
