Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the vegetables by peeling, chopping, and slicing them as indicated in the ingredients list.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, and red onion.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and mix well to coat evenly.
Add the apple cider, maple syrup, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the vegetables again to ensure everything is fully blended.
Spread the vegetables out evenly on a large baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and gently stir the vegetables to promote even browning.
Return the vegetables to the oven and continue roasting for another 20 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the vegetables cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
