Oh snugs, I've never heard them called "swede" before. Well, as I said to lysie, if you enjoy a little sweet in your dinners, you might try it sometime. Who know you may discover a whole new taste sensation :-)
I also love parsnips done that way as well as brussel sprouts. I actually prefer most of my vegetables roasted. Much better than boiling them.
I think Americans call roast vegetables different to what we do with us roast is roasted in fat and crispy are yours like that are does it just mean they are oven cooked?
