Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Carrots
- 3 large Parsnips
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 medium Red onions
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Peel the carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes. Chop them into equal-sized chunks, about 1-2 inches thick, for even roasting.
Peel and cut the red onions into wedges. Try to keep enough of the root end intact to hold the layers together.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, which helps to enhance the roasting process even with a low-fat content.
Add the rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and use your hands to mix everything well, ensuring each piece is lightly coated with the seasoning and oil.
Transfer the seasoned vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out into a single layer to allow for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure all sides are evenly cooked.
Check the vegetables for doneness by inserting a fork; they should be tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
Once perfectly roasted, remove from the oven and serve immediately. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
