Diets The idea of pairing veggies with pineapple sprang to mind one fine summer day, as I was munching on some sweet pineapple chunks. Tossed with a piquant and delicious dressing, this medley of vegetables is quite addictive and looks oh-so-pretty on the table!
3 large carrots
1 large sweet potato (long and narrow)
1 yellow squash (optional)
3 small beets
1 large red onion
2 whole heads garlic (optional)
1/2 medium ripe pineapple
3–4 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons Gefen Pure Maple Syrup
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon maple extract
generous dash Pereg Black Pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius). Line two baking sheets with Gefen Parchment Paper.
Peel and rinse all vegetables and pineapple. Slice carrots, sweet potato, and yellow squash (if using) on an angle, into 1/3-inch (one centimeter) slices, and then cut into half-moons. Cut onion and beets in half and then slice, cut side down, into thin wedges. Cut the top off the garlic head, if using, so the cloves are exposed.
Cut pineapple into quarters lengthwise, and remove hard core. Slice into 1/3-inch-thick (one-centimeter) slices, then cut each piece in half.
Place vegetables and pineapple pieces onto baking sheets in individual sections, and drizzle with oil. Roast for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine dressing ingredients.
Flip vegetables and pineapple and brush with dressing. Roast an additional 30 minutes, checking for doneness after 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and combine vegetables in a pan. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss gently to coat. Serve hot or cold.

Are those small onions (or pearl onions or shallots) I see in the beautiful photo above? What is in that photo which is not included in the recipe?
Also, can I add mushrooms?
Yes, those seem to be pearl onion. They also added parsley for garnish in the image. Sure, you could add mushrooms.
