Beef tallow is excellent for high-heat roasting. Use it with sturdy vegetables for crisp edges, deep flavor, and a simple side dish for steaks, roasts, or ground beef meals.

Ingredients

• 2 lb vegetables such as sweet potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, onions, or cauliflower
• 2 to 3 Tbsp beef tallow or rendered beef fat
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp chopped rosemary or thyme
• Optional: chopped parsley or lemon juice

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 425 F and cut vegetables into even pieces.
2. Melt the tallow and toss it with vegetables, salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs.
3. Spread on a sheet pan without crowding.
4. Roast 25 to 35 minutes, turning once, until browned and tender.
5. Finish with parsley or lemon if desired.
