Autumn is prime time for savoring these hardy roots because the frosty weather transforms their starches into sugars. Root vegetables are especially suited to roasting and braising—cooking techniques that intensify the vegetables' natural sweetness. You can also simmer them in soups and stews, or steam and mash them for side dishes. However they're prepared, root vegetables will add a sweet note to your autumn table.
