Roasted Roots and Apple Salad Topping

As I was piecing this meal together, I had no idea which direction I would be taking.  I started chopping the vegetables I wanted.. then added an apple.  Apples mesh well with many savory dishes. I'm only now discovering that.
Then I had to figure ou the rest.  For some unknown reason, I had started cooking some chana dal on the stove top.  I can not explain it.. I didn't even realize it until they were almost cooked.  It's as if I had a cooking absence.  Maybe the voice in my head had a different idea for dinner than the one at the tips of my fingers.  Either way, I do not waste.  I integrated it.  Aaah I shall make it into a warm salad.  And this marvelous salad topping was born.  I may have used it as a topping because it wasn't enough for a full side dish.  My voice must have known this.
The kohlrabi and apples make an interesting taste contrast to the orange fellows.  I love it and will be experimenting with this mix again.  Ooh!

Ingredients

1 carrot, peeled and chopped

1 kohlrabi, peeled and chopped

1 small sweet potato, peeled and chopped

1 apple, peeled, cored, and chopped

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp fleur de sel
few cracks black pepper

2 Tbsp olive oil
Directions
1.  Chop everything to approximately equal cubes.

2.  Sprinkle with the paprika, fleur de sel, and black pepper, then toss with olive oil.
3.  Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes at 200°C 400°F.  Everything should be nice and golden.

Use as a salad topping or even as a side dish.  I made a salad with some bite tender chana dal that was still warm with a heavy squeeze of lemon and some sautéed spinach that was equally warm.  I decided to add some feta but that is optional.

I served this with a bite of Prasopita Leek Pie and a few Marinated Sardines.
