Ingredients
-
2 1/2 cups water
-
1 (10-ounce) bag purple pearl onions
-
2 cups chopped rutabaga
-
2 cups chopped turnip
-
3 red pears, cored and sliced

Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until water begins to boil again. Remove onions to a strainer and cover with ice.
3.
When onions have cooled, use a paring knife to cut off the wide ends. Using your thumb and forefinger, squeeze onion at tip end, removing skins. Reserve onions; discard skins.

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine rutabaga, turnip, pears, pearl onions, parsley, thyme, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add vegetable oil. Seal bag; shake to coat with oil. Pour mixture into a roasting pan.
