Roasted Rutabaga

While it's still root vegetable season, here's a nice simple recipe for roasting rutabagas. For me, roasting any root vegetable with olive oil, salt and pepper is already enough. The roasting caramelizes the vegetables and brings out just the right amount of sweetness. But I liked the addition of a touch of vinegar in this recipe to add a welcome touch of acidity. It's a really nice side dish. Just plain old nice.
