Ingredients

  • 2 cups thinly sliced peeled yukon gold potatoes (about 3/4 lb.)
  • 2 cups thinly sliced peeled sweet potatoes (about 3/4 lb.)
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced parsnips (about 1/2 lb.)
  • 1 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups fat-free chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 3 tablespoons Bourbon
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

  1. Combine the first 7 ingredients in an 11×7 inch baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray.

  2. In a saucepan, combine the broth and remaining ingredients; bring to a boil.

  3. Pour mixture over vegetables.

  4. Cover and bake in a 375° oven for 20 minutes.

  5. Uncover and bake 50 minutes (this caramelizes the natural sugars, concentrates flavors, and browns the dish).
