Root Vegetables Recipes to Keep You Full this Winter – Bon Appétit

When you think of the winter months and what to cook you immediately turn to all kinds of comfort foods to make you feel good. To go along with all of those great entrees you are making you also need to have some great side dishes. Even as much as I like mashed potatoes, they can get kind of boring after a while. You need to be able to mix things up now and then and the best thing to use during the winter are the root vegetables that are in season right now. You can do great things with potatoes, carrots, beets, celery root and much more and Bon Appetit has put together 51 root vegetable recipes that can help you. Check it out!
