Oven-Roasted Root Veggies

I sliced some beets, carrots, sweet potatoes, and onions and put them in a baking dish. I added some salt, pepper, herbs, and spices to some bacon fat (approximately 1-2 tablespoons) and stirred it into the veggies. Added a bay leaf. I baked it, covered, at 425 (because I was baking a dish of fish at the same time) and then raised the temperature to 450 when the fish came out of the oven. Baked until veggies were soft. Garnished with some lemon juice.



I have a neat sound clip of what it sounded like when it came out of the oven...but you'll just have to take my word for it because Blogger allows posting of photos and videos but not sound files.
