Roasted Root and Tuber Vegetables with Curry Powder

Right before Ben and I met, when Sam was really little, we lived with my Granny. Both winters I lived with her she made roasted vegetables like these.  She didn’t use curry powder and they were just as good.  I just wanted to try them with the curry.  She pretty much just used salt, pepper,…
