Slow Roasted Root Vegetables
Thanks to our customer Lawrence Duncan for this delicious and heart-warming recipe!
Ingredients:
- 3 large potatoes
- 3 large carrots
- 3 large beets
- 8 large garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 tsp rosemary, fresh or powdered
- 2 tsp cumin, ground
- 1 tbsp black pepper, course ground
- 2 tsp sea salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 250 deg F. This is a "low & slow" recipe, which takes a little bit of patience, but well worth it! You can vary the ratio of vegetables to suit your tastes, as well as the choice and amounts of herbs and spices.
Cut the potatoes, carrots, and beets into large chunks. The size of the chunks determines which vegetable cook the fastest: the potatoes and beets should be the largest chunks, with the carrots being a little smaller / thinner. You'll get the feel for the right size with practice.
Place the chunked potatoes, carrots, and beets in a large mixing bowl, along with the peeled garlic cloves. Add oil and sprinkle in the spices, while stirring until all the vegetables are thoroughly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto a baking tray, and place into the oven. Cook for about 2 hours, or until done.
Serves: 3 - 4
Preparation time: 2 1/2 hours

SNAP & Double Up Food Bucks FAQs
Q: What is SNAP EBT?
Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) is an electronic system that allows a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participant to pay for food using SNAP benefits. When a participant shops at a SNAP authorized retail store, such as Organics to You, their SNAP EBT account is debited to reimburse the store for food that was purchased. All food products are SNAP eligible at Organics to You.
Q: What is Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) and the Double Up discount?
Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) provides all SNAP recipients with a $1 for $1 match (up to $20) to buy healthy fruits & vegetables when they use their EBT card to purchase produce. At Organics to You, the Double Up discount will automatically be applied to all SNAP purchases and all SNAP customers will get 50% off any purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables, up to $20 off. Only Produce Bins, Produce Add-ons, and Produce by the Case are eligible for the Double Up discount. Grocery items such as milk, eggs, meat, and rice & beans are not eligible for the Double Up discount, but they are still eligible for SNAP payments.
Q. What products are eligible for SNAP EBT at Organics to You?
All food items are eligible for SNAP EBT at Organics to You. Gift baskets, clothing, and driver tips are not eligible.
Q. What products are eligible for the Double Up discount at Organics to You?
All products in the Produce Bins, Produce Add-ons, and Produce by the Case categories are eligible for the Double Up discount. Grocery items such as milk, eggs, meat, and rice & beans are not eligible for the Double Up discount, but they are still eligible for SNAP payments.
Q. How does a customer sign up for Organics to You with SNAP EBT?
Customers shop as normal on the OrganicsToYou.org website. Customers can place items in their cart and checkout. When entering payment information, customer should choose SNAP as their preferred payment method and enter their SNAP card into the system. Customer will still be required to enter their PIN through an emailed link on the day before delivery..
Q. How does a customer sign up for the Double Up discount?
All Organics to You customers who choose SNAP as their payment method are automatically enrolled in the Double Up Food Bucks program. The discount will be applied to their account each time an order runs.
Q: Can Washington residents use their SNAP EBT at Organics to You?
Yes, ALL customers in ALL delivery zones can use their SNAP EBT at Organics to You.
Q: Who is eligible for Double Up Food Bucks?
All customers who choose SNAP as their preferred payment method at Organics to You will automatically be credited with the Double Up Food Bucks discount each time an order runs.
Q. How does the Double Up discount work with an order from Organics to You?
The Small Bin is $45 at Organics to You. The Double Up discount would apply for anyone paying with SNAP at the door, and the discount will match the first $20 spent on fruits and veggies. That means you pay $20 with your SNAP EBT card and the Oregon Food Bank matches it with another $20. That's $40 and you would then cover the last $5 for the Small Bin. So you pay $25 with SNAP EBT at the door, and the discount covers $20.
A Bin for One is only $36, so the Double Up discount will be dollar for dollar. Double Up Food Bucks will match $18 and the customer will pay $18 with SNAP EBT at the door. A Bin for One ($36) plus a Salad Add-on ($20) is $56, so Double Up would match the max $20 and the customer would pay $36 with SNAP at the door.
Only produce items (fruits and veggies) are covered by the discount so groceries like milk, eggs, and rice will not be matched dollar for dollar. However, all non-produce groceries still are eligible for SNAP and would be added to the SNAP total due with your order.
Q. How does the customer pay with SNAP EBT?
Customers will be emailed payment instructions the day before their Organics to You delivery arrives. The customer must log in to enter their PIN and finalize the payment. Payment may be split among SNAP Dollars, EBT Cash, and/or credit/debit card. Driver tips and other non-SNAP-eligible items cannot be paid for with SNAP. Payment must be made by 3am on the day of delivery or the order will be cancelled. The customer is texted a 3-hour delivery window in which to expect the delivery, but the customer is not required to be at home. Delivery instructions can be added to an account if Orgnaics to You drivers need a door code to get, should leave it somewhere other than "at the front door", or any other special circumstances.
Q. What if the customer is not there to receive the order?
Customers no longer need to be home to accept their Organics to You deliveries. Since payment is now made online, the driver will just leave the order at your door. Please let us know if there are any special delivery instructions that our drivers need.
Q. Can a customer pay online with SNAP EBT?
Yes, we now have online SNAP/EBT payments available! Customers can store their card number on file but will be emailed payment instructions one day before delivery. Customers must log-in to enter their PIN to finalize payment for each order. Customers can also split payment over any combination of SNAP, EBT, and credit/debit card. Payments must be made by 3am on the day of delivery, or the order will be cancelled.
Q. Is there a limit on the amount of Double Up customers can earn and redeem at one time?
There is a limit of up to $20 per transaction. Auto-discounts provide up to a $20 match each transaction. So, if a customer spent $50 on fruits and veggies they would receive $20 off, and the new total would be $30.
Q. How does the customer get the Double Up discount?
The customer will earn the Double Up discount every time they purchase eligible items (see above) and pay using their SNAP benefits. All SNAP customers at Organics to You will automatically receive the Double Up discount on their account statement. The customer will then be required to pay the remaining balance with their SNAP EBT.
Q: Why isn’t this program available to non-SNAP customers?
Double Up is a federally funded program. According to Federal guidelines only SNAP/EBT recipients are eligible to participate.
Q. Can a SNAP customer who pays with their credit/debit card still receive the Double Up discount?
No, a customer must pay with their SNAP EBT in order to receive the Double Up discount. The discount will be removed if payment is made with a credit/debit card.

Greetings from Organics to You!
We appreciate your business and continued support during these extraordinary times. Because we have seen such a surge in registrations in the past weeks, we have decided to implement a temporary waiting list for our services. We have been able to safely absorb unprecedented growth thus far, but in order to assure that we have the proper infrastructure in place to serve our community for the long run, we will not be accepting new registrations for the next week.

Our top priority remains the safety and health of our customers, our workers, and our community, and we are proud to help folks stay healthy and happy while at home during this pandemic.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause in the short-term, but rest assured we will continue to operate in a safe manner, and we plan to be ready and able to serve even more households very soon.
Please check back here or send your zip code, name, and email address to info@organicstoyou.org to be put on our waiting list for new customers. Thank you for your understanding and support. We hope you are doing well, staying positive, and washing your hands!!
