Ingredients

  • Sofrito
  • 3 parsnips, scrubbed and cut into chunks
  • 2 yellow summer squash, halved lengthwise
  • 1⁄2 savoy cabbage, cut into 4 sections
  • 1⁄2 lb very fresh green beans, with tips removed
  • 1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves of peeled, crushed garlic
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary powder
  • 1 tsp pimentón (Spanish smoked paprika)
  • 1⁄3 cup organic chicken stock

Directions

  1. Make sofrito according to instructions.
  2. For the vegetables, preheat oven to 425°. Combine parsnips, squash, cabbage, and green beans in a large bowl with oil, garlic, salt and pepper to taste, rosemary, and pimentón. Transfer to a medium-sized roasting pan. Add chicken stock to periphery of pan, cover, and roast for 10 minutes. 
  3. Reduce heat to 375°, uncover pan, and continue roasting until beans and tips of parsnips caramelize. At this stage, remove parsnips and beans. Turn over cabbage sections and halved squash, add a little more oil, a touch more salt, and continue to roast uncovered until remaining vegetables are tender, about another 20–30 minutes. Remove from pan and combine with rest of vegetables on a serving platter with warm sofrito. Serve.

Notes

  • It is important to take care when roasting vegetables because they finish roasting at different times. Use tongs to carefully remove smaller vegetables, such as green beans, to set aside until the larger vegetables finish cooking.
