Rutabagas and parsnips are in season and they go so well with carrots, of course. Root vegetables are best roasted and we bring all these ingredients together with a cumin-spiced yogurt dressing. Smarts: Chop veggies so they're about the same size, which means they'll cook more evenly.

Roasted Root Veggies and Lentil Salad with Cumin-Spiced Yogurt Dressing:
Rutabagas (sub turnips) - 1/2 lb, peeled and chopped
Toss veggies with second part of cooking oil on a sheet pan. Spread out into 1 even layer and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking and rotating pan midway through. Add lentils in the last 5 minutes to warm them up.
While veggies roast, slice up pita bread.
Sprinkle roasted veggies and lentils with salt and pepper right out of the oven. Toss with parsley and yogurt dressing. Season to taste with salt, pepper, or more cumin and / or lemon juice. Enjoy with sliced up pita!
