  These vegetables should be tender yet still have bite.    
  As they tend to be hard, it is necessary first to         
  soften them by steaming. For convenience, steam the       
  vegetables ahead of time, then roast them just before     
  serving.                                                  
                                                            
  1. Preheat oven to 450'F.                                 
                                                            
  2. Steam vegetables separately (do beets last) until      
  tender, about 10 minutes for each; remove to a bowl.      
                                                            
  3. Gently toss the vegetables with olive oil, thyme,      
  salt and pepper. (Do not overtoss, lest the beets         
  bleed; just shake the bowl.)                              
                                                            
  4. Place the vegetables in one layer on two large         
  baking sheets and bake for 30 minutes or until nicely     
  colored and fork-tender, shaking occasionally. Serve      
  in the center of the Crown Roast of Pork; serve any       
  extra vegetables in bowls around the serving platter.
