Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Turnips
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 medium Parsnips
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
Peel the turnips, carrots, and parsnips. Trim the ends and cut the vegetables into evenly sized sticks, approximately 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, fresh thyme, and minced garlic. Stir well to create the seasoning mixture.
Add the chopped turnips, carrots, and parsnips to the bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded for proper caramelization.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
The vegetables are ready when they are tender and golden brown with some caramelized edges. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the caramelized vegetables to a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh thyme, if desired. Serve warm.
