Heat oven to 450 degrees. Heat large pot of salted water to boil. Add onions. Quickly drain onions; rinse under cold water. Peel onions.
2. Combine olive oil, vinegar and brown sugar in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish. Add carrots, turnips, onions; toss to coat with seasoning. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Roast, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp tender and caramelized, about 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven; stir in cranberries, currants, toasted pine nuts and basil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Note: 2 cups peeled, frozen pearl onions may be substituted for fresh.
