People usually think of roasted root vegetables in winter, but this is a great way to use what’s coming up in the spring. Small turnips aka Tokyo turnips start popping up right around the time you get strawberries. The tender, sweet golf ball–size beets are at the market, too; and you can pretty much always find great Garnet yams.
