Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 3 large parsnips
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 medium beets
- 1 large red onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and peel the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and beets. Cut them into uniform pieces, approximately 1-inch in size.
Peel the red onion and cut it into similar sized wedges.
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.
Place all the cut vegetables and whole garlic cloves into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Add the salt and pepper. Toss together to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
Strip the leaves off the rosemary and thyme sprigs and sprinkle them over the vegetables. Toss again to distribute the herbs throughout.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure they have enough space to allow heat to circulate evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and starting to caramelize.
Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool slightly. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the baked root vegetables to a serving platter and serve warm as a side dish.
