Vegetables baked in a pot are a dish that reflects the coziness and warmth of Russian cuisine. Baking root vegetables in oil and aromatic herbs reveals their natural sweetness, giving the dish a rich flavor and an appetizing golden crust. Lemon and garlic add spicy notes, while rosemary and thyme provide a light fragrant aroma. Originally, such dishes were prepared in a Russian oven, preserving all the beneficial properties of the ingredients. This versatile dish can be a standalone vegetarian dinner or a side dish for meat. It is especially suitable for cold weather, warming and filling the home with the aromas of baked vegetables. It is best served immediately while hot to enjoy the full range of flavors.
