Use any type of root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, onion, carrots, turnips, etc. (whatever is on hand or in season):
Chop the vegetables into bite size pieces (enough to cover the bottom of a 9" x 13" baking pan). Drizzle with about 1/4 cup olive oil and stir to coat the roots. Sprinkle generously with sea salt and black pepper. Bake in a 425° oven for approximately one hour, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula every 15 minutes or so. Bake a little longer if you want the veggies dark and crispy.
(You can also season with dried parsley, oregano or basil in any combination you like, and if you want it spicy, use cajun seasonings.)
TIP: Presoaking potato slices in hot water helps remove excess starch so they brown and crisp like oil-cooked fries.
