Instructions
  1. Peel and chop butternut squash, parsnips, carrots, rutabega, and onion into rough 1 inch cubes. Cut sweet potato into thin, 1/4 inch slices.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tbs oil over medium high. Add the butternut squash, parsnips, carrots, rutabega, cumin, and paprika. Sautée for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the onion, canned tomatoes (with juice), garlic, and enough water or broth to half-way submerge the vegetables. Cover and let gently simmer for 30 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 F.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a large baking dish. Pour liquid into dish, then top with sweet potato slices and rosemary sprigs.
  6. Cover, leaving a slight tent for some moisture to escape. Bake for 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender and some of the liquid has cooked off.
  7. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 5 more minutes, to let melt.
  8. Serve with your favorite pasta, or on a bed of fresh spinach. Top with chives and fresh parsley, if desired.
