The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

cook's notes
This is a flexible, adaptable dish that can work with many different vegetable combinations. Feel free to adapt it to your own preferences or to what is available in the refrigerator. This recipe was inspired by a good friend's original dish - she said that she also enjoys adding squash and Brussels sprouts when available.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

These were absolutely disgusting looking. The whole dish had a grey cast and it was extremely unappetizing (It was a dish I had for Thanx.). I was so embarrassed. From now on, I'll stick with cutting up my veggies, shaking them in a plastic bag with EVOO, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings, and roast at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or so to bring out caramelization. Must easier, prettier, and more nutritious because they're not overcooked for hours!

Delicious! The vinegar mixture mellows as the recipe bakes. The amount of baking time will depend on the vegetables you use. We baked for about 2 1/2 hours but if you use more root vegetables it might take longer.
