Roast the vegetables
Transfer the vegetables to the middle shelf of the June Oven. Roast for 1 hour and 20 minutes, until the salt has crusted and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a paring knife.
Cool, remove salt and peel
Remove the vegetables from the June Oven. When cool enough to handle, crack the crust and remove the vegetables from the salt. Dust off any residual salt, then carefully remove tough skin from beets, rutabagas and turnips, if using. Leave the skin on the carrots and parsnips, if using.
