Maple Aioli and Roasted Roots and Chicken Power Bowl

 

* 4 Russet Idaho potatoes, chopped into 1/2-inch cubes

* 3 carrots

* 1 turnip, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, and then cut into wedges

* 1 red onion, cut into wedges

* 1 cup butternut squash, peeled and chopped

* 2 beets, rinsed, peeled, cut in half and then cut into wedges

* 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided

* Salt and pepper

* 3 sprigs fresh thyme, removed from stem

* 3 cups Swiss chard, removed from stem and chopped

* 1 garlic clove, minced

* 1 cup cooked rotisserie chicken, chopped

 

Maple Aioli

 

* 3 tablespoons fresh mayonnaise

* 1 tablespoon maple syrup

* 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F Use foil to line a baking tray and spray it with cooking spray.

Mix all the vegetables with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Place the vegetables in one layer on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with thyme. Toast in the oven 25-30 minutes or until golden. Turn once halfway through.

Heat the remaining olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Sauté the Swiss chard with the chopped garlic until wilted, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Mix the mayonnaise, maple syrup, and cinnamon together until well combined. Serve in a dish.

Divide the chard in to individual serving bowls. Add the roasted vegetables and the chopped rotisserie bird. Serve the maple aioli with the chicken for dipping.
