Roasted Root Vegetables

Root vegetables have grounding and nourishing properties, stemming from their deep roots, which absorb the earth's stable, dense, and heavy qualities. Ayurvedically, Vata needs sweet, moist foods, along with warming spices and oils.  Pitta benefits from more cooling or slightly heating vegetables with less heating spices, and Kapha favors pungent, heating, and more stimulating vegetables with less oil and heating spices.
